I don't hate the sign/marquee, but they can't possibly leave the brickwork where the old signage was like that, right?
They had to get a sign up at the attraction since they took the original down. One would logically expect a good pressure washing soon though.
 
Interesting aerial of the former SoA area from bio that concerns Muppets:

Basically the "road" is in the process of being paved, but Muppet Courtyard is getting a slight expansion as well. It's been rumored for awhile that a low brick wall of sorts will separate this road from Muppets with a welcoming entry area. As you can see in the full size photo below, forms for that wall have started and push out much farther than I think is even logical considering the high guest traffic that will be going in and out of SW:GE...

Bloop:

As part of the multi-year reimagining of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the area adjacent to Muppet Courtyard will reopen this fall as Grand Avenue. Inspired by present-day Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), Grand Avenue captures the spirit of DTLA with facades of trendy shops, lofts, restaurants and other businesses utilizing former office buildings and warehouses that have been converted over the last couple of decades.


Grand Avenue serves as a place of community, recreation and relaxation. Recently, as part of this transformation, the theater that houses Muppet*Vision 3D was named Grand Arts Theatre and given a new marquee inspired by a restored movie palace.


Opening this fall on Grand Avenue, BaseLine Tap House will be the newest food and beverage location at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This quaint brick building offers Guests a cheerful location to enjoy light snacks along with beer and wine from California.

Maybe an upgrade to digital?
 
I wonder if they'll do any other maintenance while they have the attraction shut down. If I was Disney, I'd throw a couple extra people to do some very basic refurb work since the attraction is closed anyways.
