Plants are being planted, rail fencing is going in, and the walking path with lights have all become visible in the last couple of weeks. Kerjon Lee, public affairs manager for LA County Public Works, says project remains on target for a late May, early June opening.
Lee said the project is 85 percent complete but did not know at the time whether there would be an opening day ceremony.
“The two tide gates have been installed to reduce flood risk and provide regular tidal exchange necessary for improved water quality,” he wrote when asked the status. “A new vegetated berm in the middle of the basin is also working as designed to increase the circulation of water. The contractor recently installled irrigation lines to support the more than 45,000 native plants and trees being planted.
“According to Project Manager Rick Sun of LA County Public Works, the project walking path and decorative fencing elements are about 50 percent complete.”
