JTS Improvements - Want More

I scrolled back to see what I’d missed this morning—and found myself staring at the back of a bus. Just before 9:00 someone started zooming all over the place, for about fifteen minutes.

The interesting things were what appeared to be several electricians trucks near the base of the press tower…and this, across the street.

What would they need to skin off the grass for? Guess we’ll see.

Oh, I also noticed that the borders along the sidewalks in the plaza apparently aren’t really finished yet, just like along the concourse—except right in front of the SPC.

I've been hoping it's some sort of black marble look-a-like material. The renderings leave a lot of wiggle room as to what it might be.
My guess would be a textured rock to discourage (psychologically) pedestrians from crossing it onto the grass. At least that's what I would have designed into it.
 
What material is that black border? Looks somewhat like asphalt, however I'm certain it isn't.
When I watched them put it down along the concourse, there was a skid loader just picking it up from a pile that had been pushed to the top of the hill next to the tunnel.

That’s why I’m moderately sure it’s just amended soil, and not finished.

Maybe they'll just seed that?

I think maybe its black mulch? Looking at the photo just posted above?
 
I just saw this guy inching his way along 4th St, towards the north side of the SPC.

Any chance we could be getting a matching set of Trice Stripes?
