The 2-ply torch on roofing membrane is currently being installed on the South podium. Next, eight inches of rigid insulation will be laid overtop and covered with a one inch layer of sand whereupon the elegant paving stones will be laid. Soon, large planters with shrubs and flowers will be placed here. This will be an exceptional place for wildlife observation, watching the river go by or simply taking in the afternoon sun.
