They are approaching it differently in that the first layer isn't being allowed to settle for a year (possibly because there's less settling without car traffic), but there are definitely still two layers, I saw both layers go down.
That being said, depending on scheduling, roads don't always get 1-2 years of settling, King St. in uptown got maybe 3 months.
