Looks good, but man is progress on this taking forever when you factor in the other phases of the project.

The Emerald Trail was originally projected as a 10 year project to completion.  Anything faster than that will exceed this expectation  :).  I believe the current track they are on will do so, maybe by quite a bit.

^ 10 years to completion was always very ambitious. It will likely take longer

I am thinking the big shot of money from the gas tax plus some unexpected grants and donations might accelerate the timeline.  Also, that the City is having a more unified and bipartisan "establishment" actually showing some active enthusiasm for the Trail that I haven't seen since we pitched for the Jaguars.
