Source notes

Dynamic official dashboard captured October 17, 2026; its latest displayed comment is dated September 28, 2026. The approximate $53 million all-in estimate, appropriations, listed contracts and paid-to-date figures measure different things. October 5, 2027 is the listed construction-finish date, labeled “SC” in the comment, not a verified opening. Pending-permit wording is not proof of illegal construction. The City includes an accuracy disclaimer. Source-only link; no page archive or new person profiles.
