DOWNTOWN: Not sure when it happened, but those awnings-- that were just skeletons last fall--are now covered. This is all part of the Gold Line construction (new rail) downtown and these awnings will provide shade for travelers. Per the rendering, you also may or may not be getting some nice new trees. The Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension is expected to be done by this summer. [Curbed Staff]
