Now there is green vinyl fencing on the rooftop floor. Construction will start soon, it seems. Photo from Earl on PlugShare

Not shown is active progress being made on the conduit install on the ceiling beneath the pedestal location.
Some digging going on, more equipment on the roof, conduit placement inside the garage to feed the units, and scanning for rebar on the roof...
@ecarfan , this sure looks like construction to me, how about a thread title update?

Are those Tesla-labeled crates onsite? What if this turns out to be an Electrify America installation?

What you want to see in any construction project is continuous day to day progress. Seeing nothing change for weeks on end, either because of permitting problems, inspection delays, or contractor issues is always a bad sign.
So far nothing along those lines here. Speaking of lines, someone went pretty crazy with the red and yellow chalk and even drew a bunch of additional lines outside the previously fenced in area. Must not have got a passing grade during Coloring 101 in Kindergarten...

Definitely some pedestals going in outside the fenced area. Expect the fencing perimeter to be expanded shortly. Can't tell if the metal bases are permanently attached yet, or just positioned for more measuring. I initially thought that maybe there were going to be more than 24 bases installed, but they may be working around a couple light poles. Should have a better idea by the end of day today. Also, lots of piled up conduit by a former entrance waiting to be bolted up...
Oh baby! Looking good from here. Are the other 20 DCFCs on site yetTransformer hole is started, and the pedestals are almost all up
No progress on conduit installation though...
No work on the top deck or the transformer area, but yesterday a crew were digging along the ground between the sidewalk and the garage. It looks like the feed will be underground from the corner to an area where it will come up and then go up the building side to the floor just under the garage. The ceiling mounted conduit will then come up through the roof floor to supply the Tesla chargers.
Doing that also allows the city installed chargers along this side of the wall on the roof to then tap into the same feed.

I live nearby. I believe somewhere up thread I posted that the expected startup date discussed at the municipal service committee meeting was stated to be mid-November. I would bet the city supplied DCFCs won't be ready by then. Just a guess on my part.

On Sept 4th I was told by someone from the city on site that the target completion date was Nov 15th and that he felt confident they would make it by then based on the momentum the project had at the time.
Crew this morning resumed chipping away at the Great Wall of Pasadena that needs to be removed to make way for the transformer. Some additional metal conduit was added to the ceiling of the floor under the roof. And a dozen of my new friends showed up to take part in the festivities...
