Well, it's 2009, four years after this article was written, and STILL the Riverfront Heritage Trail isn't complete.

In defense of the organizers of the trail, putting something like this together is far, far, far more difficult than you would imagine.

That particular issue with the RHT is that there are HUGE number of different governments, government agencies, other agencies, private companies, and others they have to work with to make the trail become a reality.

Making all that harder, a simple little common-sense thing like a bicycle trail isn't a high priority for any of the individual governments and agencies involved.

Then getting these various governments and agencies to actually *work together* is yet another layer of difficulty.

As slow as the trail has been in coming together, the fact that it is coming together *at all* is a testament to the tenacity of a few people like Darby Trotter.

FYI, Pitch really ought to talk to Trotter again and do a follow-up on the progress on the trail four years later.
