June 21, 2021, The First Day of Summer — Under the Heat, the Work on the Northeast Parking Lot and the Work on the Barton Road Pedestrian Bridge Continues
The featured image for the first week of summer is of the northeast parking lot at grade. Tomorrow, the base will be brought in and compacted on top of the dirt grade. On Wednesday, If all goes as planned, the parking lot will be paved.
As we begin this fourth week of June, rumor has it that the heatwave may wane a bit the next few days, but climb again on Saturday. Temperatures below 100° will be welcome news to those who labor outside. Many of us on the site are elated that we are free from the Covid-19 masks. From March 20, 2020, to June 15, 2021, the State of California has been under some of the most stringent Covid rules in the country, but with California having one of the nation’s highest vaccination rates, Governor Newsom has relaxed most of the mandated rules. However, there are some guidelines for hospitals, schools, large sporting events, and theme parks.
