    • connections from the green necklace to the Jones overpass will be upgraded, and eventually to the upper levels greenway once that's built. The Jones overpass itself isn't getting upgraded because that's MOTT property.
  • King's Mill
    • more segments open; still under construction. The current block of the separated bike lane should be finished in June, and the next block later.
