From the transcript
So, before I move on to the HESCO projects, I really want to say thank you to them, and this would not be possible without their huge assistance. So, Thank you. The good news, moving on to the HESCO and flood barrier work, is that it is complete. You will see crews still working on cleanup and final details, but the barriers are sealed and ready to go, with the exception of the pedestrian and the maintenance accesses. Those were left open intentionally so that people can access trails and maintenance crews can continue to get through them to maintain their trails as well as the other infrastructure.
