I had thought they would finish McNeall Drive so people could easily reach Marsh Bend Trail after crossing the bridge. That would make it easier for people living in St. Catherine or Citrus Grove to drive golf carts to Magnolia Plaza.

Based on what I saw in your video, they are ignoring McNeall Drive but they are doing a lot with Bexley Trail, so now it looks like people crossing the bridge will be able to drive down Bexley Trail and reach Central Parkway. That seems strange because I think most of us do not care what happens south of Central parkway.
Work IS in progress on McNeil Dr. As was just stated, the focus is on getting the schools open and Central Ave is a very huge part of that. It won't be much longer on McNeil, they are very focused on that area now. Don't forget, they need inventory to sell to keep this train moving. By this time next year everyone will be singing a different tune...

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
