Half ($350k) of the cost of the underpass is being paid for by a state Safe Routes to Schools grant. Replacing the underpass was unlikely until the grant came through last year.

I'm not sure why the Mayor mentioned it last night; it's really designed for pedestrians, not bikes. The turns on the approach ramps and the clearance will not be conducive to riding.

Not sure how this fits but there was a previous article saying the
underpass at Univ and Spring Harbor school had been approved (yay!) in
the plans for the Univ rebuild happening soon(?).  At one time it was
not going to be rebuilt, due to a cost of 1mil$ for a new one (boo!).
So if it was approved but comes out of this 4.4mil$ bike/ped money ...
