The tracks end right in front of the TRON Lightcycle / Run sign outside the construction site.

A cart and a few other construction materials sat next to the track, but it looks mostly completed.

A short strip of wood crosses the walkway to another planter. The sidewalk in front of the wood has yet to be repaved.

There is still some exposed weather-proof sheathing around the building entrance. A steel piece was recently added above the entrance.

It looks like crews have finished installing white paneling around the edge of the canopy.

We could see some grey sheets still stuck to the paneling behind a tree.
