Other projects will include the parking lot between Buildings 500 and 600, scheduled for May 14 to 21; Galileo Avenue near the Colorado Tracking Station, scheduled for May 18 to 21; Lagoon Circle near the southeast corner of the restricted area, scheduled for May 16 to 23; and portions of the parking lot near Einstein Bros.
