"It's just amazing, I'm not a long-term resident of the downtown core but this whole summer, the changes and the construction have been phenomenal," she said.

Vibrations from blasts will be monitored to ensure compliance with guidelines and regulations, and to prevent the possibility of damage to nearby structures, the city said in a media release.
