The 32-foot wide multi-modal bridge will include a multi-purpose trail for pedestrians and bikes with accommodations for a future transit lane. The project is now eligible for inclusion in the local match funding category of the 2016 SPLOST TIP. The completion date is scheduled for Aug. 31, 2017, but the pedestrian component of the bridge will be operational by Braves Opening Day in April 2017.

"transit" here means shuttle busses running to parking lots to pick up people during braves games.

Honestly, I hope they prove me wrong. The question that sticks out in my head is why put the transit piece on hold, when it would get the most use?

No, you have to use the term 'Trolleys' or else the season ticket holders won't ride.

I don't think they're putting it on hold, but just saying that it won't be ready until 4 months after opening day. If I read that right.

And...? This is Tim Lee's boondoggle that will ultimately come back to bite everyone that cosigned on this in the rear.

"Transit" in the same sense that the trams that take you from the Disney World parking lots to the Magic Kingdom are "transit."
