I guess the new 'garden' areas won't be the matching red concrete of the original hub?

The concrete will slowly be changed out for new color. Similar to work now taking place in the inner hub.

do you mean it will all be changed to be red, or the red will be changed for the 'sand' color? If it's all going to be red then why didn't they just pour red concrete in the first place? Sorry if this has already been discussed.

No the sand color will be the final look. The hub / plaza will have more neutral tone / color that will tie in with the castle. There will be color transition from main street to hub and hub to other lands.

In other words, no where close to being done.

My biggest question-regarding the artificial grass in the FP viewing gardens-how is the cleanup handled on this type of surface? Knowing how the hub looks after Wishes or the Electrical Parade, I can see this new viewing area full of popcorn, and piles of spilled ice cream and soda. Popcorn can be swept up but how do they clean the real messy stuff, quickly? I imagine that until it's hosed down, it's going to look like c*@p. I predict a changeover to brick pavers at some point in the future.....or a ban on refreshments in the new garden areas.

How do they clean up real messy stuff anywhere else? It all looks like cr@p until it's cleaned up.
Believe me, Phil from TurfVac is going to keep visiting MK until he closes the sale.

When it's ice cream, they can sweep it up and throw some water on it...sure it's still a mess, but not as bad looking as when someone drops ice cream on an outdoor carpet. Generally they pressure wash the streets after hours, but when it comes to the grass, it seems as though they're going to have to do that in front of guests....

This is more than outdoor carpet. Artificial turf these days require drainage layers and sub layers to absorb moisture.

I know....just being sarcastic about the problems of quick cleaning this type of surface.

There's a lot of red concrete still there... and in areas that aren't really going to be touched by the Hub expansion.
Does this mean there's going to be a massive repaving aspect to this project, too? Perhaps that's why permits go all the way to the end of November? Oy....

No. It's going to be a hodgepodge. Like it already is. MK has its own Project Kaleidoscope going on.
