I'll play along - but I've provided this rant on several threads over the past year. First off, no complaints about the lack of any of the bridges or even the shopping center. We make out just fine without any of it. My concern is only with the lack of transparency with the lack of progress - no acknowledgement that clearly stated due dates were missed and no reasons given as to why. I have a map, still, that clearly shows the Water Lily bridge being open by January of 2020 and Magnolia Plaza being open in the Fall of 2019. Both are being worked on now, but neither are complete. "Stuff" happens, but own up to it. In the latter part of last year, when it was clear the bridge would never be done by January, a VMail was released that mentioned the bridge would probably be April/May, however nothing was mentioned about that being different from the original date. The problem with the lack of transparency is that it fuels the rumor mill, and I've heard some ridiculous rumors as a result - such as the one that was going around that the bridge, which has already been constructed on the side of the turnpike, was not going to be long enough because the turnpike was going to be widened.
All that said, I don't sweat over it or focus on it - I still enjoy every day here. When connectivity happens, I'll be one of the first to take advantage of it. Until then, my vehicles will always take me where I want to go.
