When a family member has visited, they wanted to ride it.

And you are right, given all of the interchanges around here. I live awfully close to the north 51 and it is as packed as ever during rush hour.

Over the canals might have been an interesting plan. I just wish it was hitting more neighborhoods that really could use an alternative to cars. Perhaps in time, but I am just not willing personally to pay more taxes to wait and see. With the GOP in control, I would rather see that money going to education or healthcare here.
