VIDEO/PHOTOS:Demolition of Suzy Cue’s underway

Construction crews are currently tearing down Suzy Cue’s.

The work began at 8 a.m. on Monday at the back of the building and is expected to wrap up by the end of the day Tuesday.

The city approved plans to raze the building at the end of October. The property was purchased by the neighbouring Venice House, to convert the land into a parking lot for the restaurant.

During the demolition, the westbound lanes of 15th Street East, from Central Avenue to First Avenue East will be closed. Two-way traffic will flow through the eastbound lanes through that stretch of road.
