When I refer to "Phase 2", I am referring to an second major phase to the system funded through some other future initiative. "Phase 2" in MAPS 3 was a way to break the streetcar project up to allow better cash flow and programming for all of the MAPS 3 projects. At the time that this was approved, there were also hopes that we would be elligible for Federal Funds. We have since received significant Federal Funds for both the streetcar and the Intermodal Hub. "Phase 2" has turned out to be completely irrelevant in those matters.

Because of delays on the streetcar due to the wired versus wireless issue and better than expected sales tax revenue collections, I expect that the "Phase 2" in the MAPS 3 Implementation Plan will simply cease to exist. Those discussions are actually ramping up. Phase 1 is running into Phase 2 and available money is not a problem.
