Thanks for the info on the sprinkler service. I grabbed this picture from today’s webcam feed. Looking closely at the NE hillside one can see a series of white dots that appear to be the sprinkler heads.

Did the old hillsides have sprinklers installed? If not, it looks like they plan on keeping these new hillsides in much better shape. That, along with better slopes/views should translate into a superior hillside experience! :cool:
If we can see them does that mean they're running them? I wonder if it's just a test. If they're running the sprinklers maybe they're prepping to install sod this week!!!

Somebody drove by this morning and sent me this. Why would they flatten out that dirt before they poured the sidewalks?

It's hard to see on the camera but there are a bunch of light pole footings/pedestals already installed. I imagine those will be individual lights and not strings like the renderings, but I suppose it's still possible.
I believe the last rendering pollard tweeted showed some lighting elements (on poles I think) around the grass areas.

Reducing wear and tear on the paved areas? Form support? Something like that I would guess. Or, maybe they need that dirt in place and settled before working on the Trice stripes? I think those will end up right around there.

Also, I'm just like whoever said it above and only noticed that sculpture in the renderings recently. Holy smokes do I like the looks of it.

They became much more visible after all the rain we had awhile back. I think the rain may have washed away some of the soil?

I did notice some wet areas the day they put the lines in. Whatever the case is, they need to install that sod soon to give it maximum time to get established (as well as giving a more finished look for recruits). :)
