Lots of small progress items to report in Riverwalk:
1. Boulders have been placed throughout the tract to control vehicle traffic in the Riverwalk greenspaces. Fly fishing is a beautiful thing, but alas you will have to walk a few yards...
2. Volleyball - the posts are set, many trucks of fill have been brought in. Next we roll it, put down fabric, and....then 40 tons of sand. Is there room for a lifeguard chair?
3. Parking lot -- specs are out to 2 asphalt companies and we are waiting on the second quote. We are going with ample sized parking spots that are parallel to the front of the building, so that cars are not parked up against the storefronts.
4. Market stalls -- getting quotes to build a couple of shelters for Saturday markets; will double as picnic area.
5. Split rail fencing - planning rail fence this summer in various sections of the perimeter for additional safety and parking management.
6. Suite 3 is completed for Highland Prospects and they are busily building displays, dressing room and specialty lighting.
7. Suite 2 is getting its cement floor sealed today, complete with some faint oil stains and sawed off bolts from the hydrolic engine lift that once operated in this bay. The floors are really the main architectural artifact telling this building's past use.
8. Solar Photovoltaic System -- up and running. We are at a surplus now but once tenants are in Suite 2 we expect this grid-tied system to generate the majority but not all the electricity usage of Suite 2.

Farmers market - Oh yeah!
Volley ball - more sand!
Fly fishers - what's wrong with walking?
Judging by the size of that solar array, why is only suite two going to utilize the juice? If not enough juice: what are they using that much for?
Keep up the steady progress!
2.4KW an hour. Maybe about 7-8kw/day average...I'll guess 2,500kw annually. PIMBY says Ste 2 (plus the basement and lobby) will use it up just with heat, lights and computer. I'm still learning what to do if we don't use up the annual generation. We could implement for the rest of the building but believe me these pups are big $$$!
