TBJ article on RCC approving the $21.8m contract to get the Lake Wheeler project started. Plan is to start construction this summer and they expect it will take two years.

So, four years - minimum. Understood!

That is really unfortunate timing with the opening of Gipson Play Plaza lol.
Hopefully they prioritize access to the park during construction? Work from North to South and keep the park entry open to the south until theyâre ready to flip to the south end and keep access open from the north?

Yeah it wouldâve been great to have this timed to open with the park stuff, the Rockway, The Weld, the drug rehab place, etc. Instead of all that opening to 2 (or honestly 3+) years of road construction.

Transportation projects take a long time to start and be constructed, itâs a part of life.
Yeah obviously. Which is why it wouldâve been good if they started earlier, so it would be completed earlier.

Sidewalk improvements will be great, but Iâm liking this little section by the greenway. It will be nice once the retails spots open.

This spot is nice except the button for the crosswalk is not on the crosswalk. makes it very awkward for folks in a wheelchair, or on a bicycle, etc.
