In August 2002, construction trailers and equipment could be seen within the grassy oval areas (left, right) and along First Street (foreground). Installation of noise-reduction window units along the East Front was nearing completion, and close to 300 parking spaces lost to construction had been successfully offset by establishing new spaces near the House and Senate Steps, in Upper Senate Park, and along Northwest and Southwest Drives. Utility relocation work was ongoing and excavation activities were just beginning across the East Plaza. Alternate media sites, previously located in the grassy ovals on the north and south sides of the site, were relocated to the Cannon Terrace and Upper Senate Park.
