Yes, the money that was to be used for Monroe/Regent/SW Path reconstruction will be used for infrastructure in the Allied Drive area. Brian Solomon and I were both sponsors of this budget amendment.
Arthur is also correct, that the intersection reconstruction was postponed because "it isn't soup yet." And the money "can be allocated to other projects." The other projects in this case are ones that need to be done in Allied. This budget amendment also helped save $3 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Mayor had originally meant to use the AHTF money for streets in Allied. After he ran into considerable resistance for this plan, including the fact that our ordinances do not allow such a use, he wisely looked around for another way to fund the needed infrastructure. Monroe/Regent money is part of that. I am glad to postpone the Monroe/Regent project so we can come to a consensus on the best option for this important multi-modal intersection.
