Nakumpleto na namin ang aming paunang kontrata sa pagtatayo. Mayroon pa ring pangangailangan para sa higit pang imprastraktura sa kahabaan ng trail na ito upang magbigay ng karagdagang kaginhawahan at kaligtasan para sa mga gumagamit nito.

Nais din namin na ang trail na ito ay magbigay ng koneksyon sa isang umuunlad na network ng mga bicycle at pedestrian trail sa pamamagitan ng aming Bike Network Plan Update.

Ang Departamento ng Transportasyon ay bumubuo ng Phase II kung saan ang ilan sa mga isyung ito ay maaaring matugunan at ang pagpopondo ay hinahangad na gumawa ng mga pagpapabuti.
