This is what the city wanted to do. In the last minute, the Airport Authority demanded that the 36th St to Metis connection could not be built until interchanges at 19th St and Barlow Trail were built.
It doesn't really make sense, but it's in the agreement currently. Hopefully, the airport will allow the connect without the interchanges, as I think the connection will be required in the next 5-7 years (It would be nice now, but we could manage without it), but those interchanges might not be required for 20 years, IMO.
