What’s the time line on the completion of the pedestrian walkway at Brentwood, the worked started July 27, I thought it was to be completed in two months. It appears to still be ongoing can you give an update. The barricades are up and down on different days? Thanks.

Kelly, I don’t have a completion date for you at this time, but here is what I can tell you. After work began on the new walkway, it became apparent that the retaining wall adjacent needed repairs. The City of Brentwood, who is managing the walkway project, is moving forward on the retaining wall repairs at this time.
