An update on updates

by

I had surgery recently and the recovery is affecting my ability to provide timely updates on the membrane project, so you may see a few days when little is being reported. This should improve over the next week as my recovery progresses.

Phase 1 completion/emergency repairs update for May 27, 2026:

  • Work has been more sporadic recently as decisions are being made on how to deal with inevitable issues coming up.
  • Patios are continuing to be addressed in terms of stripping and preparing them for post-demolition work, on both the 240 and 244 buildings.
  • The sidewalk in the emergency repair area is no longer going to be removed and replaced. It will instead be repaired and sealed with the same paint used for crosswalks/traffic lines (this is very thick, durable paint that provides a seal that can withstand traffic for many years).
  • The planter by the southeast corner of the 248 building, which was part of Phase 1, has finally been removed:

Landscaping update:

As some may have no doubt noticed, the new landscaping company, Terra Firma, has been onsite. As of today they have mowed all lawns except for the easement facing Brunette Avenue. They have been working in stages as the grass was very long, due to approximately 3.5 months of no cutting.

They will continue to come by weekly (normally on Fridays as of now) and will continue to mow, clear out brush and tend to other neglected areas around Copperstone.

Work done today:

I’m not sure!

I heard what sounded like work being done on a patio, but I could not see any workers onsite. In mid-afternoon a purple pickup was parked inside the fencing of the emergency repair area and a man was walking across the site, possibly inspecting it.
