^ That part of town is geographically isolated, for sure. Access has always been a problem. As an outsider though, I can't understand why delaying or cancelling big projects like this make any sense. "Save us from our congestion!!", so the city comes up with a massive plan to do just that, and suddenly it becomes "Now? Here? Why?"
You've stated your support for the project, even if marginally, so I'm not directing it at you personally. But construction delays are pretty much a fact of life in this city. I have a couple of options for my commute, and I can't recall a time in the last 15 years that at least one of them wasn't impacted by construction of major projects, and quite often both of them. I will add, however, that I do think that the city does a pretty good job at keeping things free flowing, and they do a lot more work at night.
Not saying that we can't be annoyed by construction, but perhaps that area's relative isolation for years has been both a blessing and a curse when it comes to avoiding a lot of the delays other parts of the city have seen.
