The Downtown News breaks the story of another round of delays at the Frank Gehry-designed Grand Avenue Project. Project developer Related Cos. announces that construction on Phase I is now set for February 15, 2009, nearly a year and a half later than initial groundbreaking projections.

Good news for parking lovers: According to Related of California President Bill Witte, the tinker-toy parking structure atop Bunker Hill may be reopened until next year's groundbreaking. Think it'll ever get built?
