    A look at the new parking structure construction. This week we start off on the far corner of the project nearest Walnut, furthest from the tram stop since I was parked in the far corner of the parking structure. Temporary supports for the second floor are being installed.
    Panning further left you can see the two ramps.

    This first ramp appears to be paused waiting for the other to get further along since it will be stacked on top of it.
    Here is the other ramp which extends up toward the 4th floor.

    The temporary supports have been removed from under this portion of the ramp already.
    The portion of the structure closest the tram stop will extend out to the Mickey and Friends garage. Wonder if it will connect. that would be good for those parked on that far side to have the option to use the M&F escalators and elevators.
