Wanted astronomical cash for the property and city wouldn't pay it, now that the road is built, he sold it to some developers for a fraction of what he asked from the city.
So my understanding it's going to be a commercial development, not a road.

Yea I heard the same thing, it's sad that Metis trail is connected on both ends as a wide 4 lane and narrows down right around this one guy's property. Now it'll probably won't get finished?
Or is the city going to not hook up utilities unless the developer plays ball and lets them finish the road?
