The photo below is from close to the middle bridge looking down the old sewer line. Mulched, note with palettes on top of the mulch. I do not know whether they laid palettes over the vernal ponds before applying the mulch. They said they would not fill in those. But they also said they would dig up the four large hibiscus that were too large for us to dig and move, and that did not happen.
The prep work is, I think, almost done. I can see a couple of places where I imagine they will enter with the large rocks that are now being brought to the staging area. These will help stabilize the streambanks to prevent erosion.
There is still a smallish mulch mountain in the staging area, not sure where else they need to mulch. We shall see.
They have to finish in the stream by March 1. Almost no rain out days (until Dec. 21) so hopefully they are on schedule.It will likely take them all of March to get rid of all the mulch and palettes so think April 1 as end time.
Photo below is of the Meadowdale entrance, now completely blocked off. The only legal way to get to the park is at Baughmans for now.
I will send more information as I observe or get updates from the City. – Ginny
