Outlining the maintenance activities undertaken across the site, the Project Manager for the Cable Car Project- Randell Gliege asserted that the workers have been working on several things such as cutting the overgrown grass and repairing the walking paths.

The construction crew has been clearing overgrown bushes to clean the original paths and repairing the steps of the walking paths and bridge.
