August 2, 2021 — The Day That the Anderson Street Fence Came Down

The featured image for this post is of the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Center Campus after the construction fence was taken down between 6:30 AM and 7:30 AM. The Prospect Avenue construction fence was removed last week, and the Barton Road Construction Fence will be removed after the railing is installed around the Omnitrans Bus Stop. A crew is welding the railing as I write this post. A small area along Barton Road where the Pedestrian Bridge construction is ongoing will be fenced until the project is completed.

Remember this Image?

The iconic east elevation of the Loma Linda University Medical Center and Children’s Hospital is now a memory. This view has been obscured by the new hospital towers that front the clover-leaf towers of yesteryear.
