I tried to visit and was unable to see the memorial stone due to some major construction that is in progress. Per the app and GPS, I was right across the street from where the memorial was, but I couldn't get closer than the construction barrier wall. I'm hoping the memorial stone and surrounding trees will all be kept, but time (or access to the construction plans) will tell.
