Substantial progress.
1. The trench out to the Highway 7 for the input power distribution conduit is now covered with gravel and topped with dirt, and that area is open for parking. Will need some paving to complete.
2. Highway 7 input power location is now fenced off itself and isolated from the main supercharger area.
3. Stall concrete pads now in place.
4. Large (40 cm in diameter, 2.5 meters tall, half in ground) cylindrical mounts for what could be lighting, or solar canopy. Many, not just a few, and there is plenty of existing mall lighting in place around the charging area, so I do wonder if lighting is the reason. Hoping solar canopy, but it's a wild guess.
5. Port-o-potty has been moved. Makes it much easier to get a nice combination picture of the "action" without needing to zoom in on the throne.

Mall already has big parking garage with direct access to doors.
It's not more convenient to park 150m from doors at the superchargers so this won't be the reason for ICEing.
Do agree that ICEing is inevitable at this location tho.

Took a couple of photos on Saturday December 2, 2017. Not ready yet, if the pace is kept up; this will be ready in the new year (January 2018) at the earliest:

I dropped by today at noon, and they were pouring some cement. I only saw it from far away (from the mcDonald's), don't know where they were pouring the cement on.. it could had been on top of a car.. for all i know.. 
Dropped by today at lunch - progress: some cables have been installed. The location is tough, no grass or soil just concrete and asphalt. Lots of concrete cutting - they were still cutting concrete while I was on site.
Spoke with some of the crew, great bunch but tight lipped as to opening timing. Looks like there will be no Solar canopy, just lights. Can expect the stalls to up soon, some maybe installed for the weekend. Hydro hookup Tuesday, however its going to be tough to say the least to energize without the Tesla switch boxes etc. They are installing barriers to protect the Tesla hardware as per other locations.

I've yet to see a solar canopy anywhere but California. Really don't think it's likely we'll see them here.

Darn, was hoping for solar canopy.
Anyway, in Markham Ontario, no need to melt snow for solar panels, we barely get a dozen snow storms that leave snow per winter over the past few years. Winter solar is a fraction of summer even if you have clean panels.

Good news out in Markham, the transformer has arrived and the power pole looks ready for hookup by the utility company - not a great day - but the crew was on site ,
Bad news -- no stalls or Tesla equipment installed

Still no stalls installed. They’re working on the walls around the transformer now it looks like. Fencing around the area near that hydro poll at 7 they’re likely tying into somehow. Feels like it’s going to be a while still.
