Workzone G1.1.1 Report
Updated 12/14/2023

Summary

This workzone was reconfigured after the renovation of the parking lots and shelter area. Much of it was swallowed up by the enlarged parking lot, so it was increased to include the newly installed bioswale, the field where the old shelter use to be, and the stand of cottonwoods.
