Phase 1 SUBSTANTIAL completion date is the end of October.
~~~~~~
The key word here is SUBSTANTIAL.
It started out having a completion date in August. Then complete the first week in October. Then complete in late October. Now SUBSTANTIALLY complete by late October. That one word leaves for a lot of wiggle room. Without the infusion of the Phase II 1.9 million in environmental money this thing would be dead in the water. Which begs the question, is all the 5.1 million of the original 5.1 million for Phase I gone?
Judging by the progress being made it will be interesting to see just what is ready by the end of October compared to what was promised for Phase I.
It will be done just in time to lunch and sip mint juleps in December along the river. Ahhhh a dream come true, long underwear required. Watch out San Antonio.
Helga, sometimes I think we are some weird wavelink, like we met in a different life. Oh, nevermind, I don’t like hippies. Anyway, I was skooling the young pup bartenders tonight about good bourbon drinks (some one ordered an old fashion, and I made puke face) I said, “If they want a real tasty bourbon drink, they should order a mint julep. delisch!
I happen to like Singapore Slings to. What were we talking about again? Oh, steps into a river.
I thought it was funny that the actual surface of the project (landscaping, metal details, etc) won’t be done until Spring, but hey, the bike trail will be ready for Winter!!!!
I really like this project. I know the cost overruns are frustrating, but I really do like the addition of quality public space in the heart of they City. The eastbank plaza in phase 2 (where the river ramp sits now) is an almost unimaginable improvement over what it’s like there now.
I saw Mike at the press conference spouting how all Sioux Falls residents talk to everyone with pride about our wonderful bike bath.
Well I tell everyone that we haven’t had a bike bath for years… Due to one construction project after another after another. You might be able to ride a couple miles before a detour.
So no Mike, I tell everyone that our bike path is a joke.
Next year I can’t wait to hear about a section “closed” for the summer due to more construction.
Phase 1: Steal underpants
Phase 2: ??
Phase 3: Profits!

This is a expensive goose shitter
Scooter, you are right, but usually there is some kind of good detour. Not this year. I found out first hand.
