Lakes and lights

Here is a close up look at the gunnite being applied to the lake edge at Highland Groves lake. As I've mentioned in prior posts, the lake is composed of a hole in the ground with rubber sheeting on top of that, and dirt on top of that. If that were the end of the story, the edges would eventually erode, and the rubber sheeting would slip out of position. So an application of rebar and then concrete on top of that holds everything in place, and looks nice, as well.


We can't get concrete on Fridays, due to the cement shortage, so even though they got a good start on the edge last week, it got interrupted by a lack of concrete. The edges are all prepared, so once they get going again, it should progress quickly.

In other updates of note, the palm lights on the southeast corner of Higley and Elliot are now illuminated. My impatience with this detail is legendary, but at last they are lit, as well as the bollards along the path.

And the Panda Express at that same corner has got furniture inside! We have heard that they would like to open February 9; I know it always takes longer, but it looks like they are nearly ready.
