I was thinking maybe invite Bloomie to join me on my commute through that area. There are no lights, and broken pavement. The past couple of mornings, I found myself riding off the path on that little circle at the top of the sewage plant. Then you have to play chicken with the cars entering the complex by the security booth. The security guards park there car on the left about 10 feet from the gate, so you have to ride right almost until you get to the booth and then cut left to go through the "bike gate".

Heh, nicely put. How about the section of the Greenway by the water treatment plant? It's been "under construction" with "security concerns" requiring that the gate at one end of that stretch be closed late at night for many moons (like half a year now). I haven't seen the slightest bit of progress in the supposed construction. Hooray for corruption!
Funny thing is that it closes a gate in the middle. You can get there form the north and from the south. you just can't get through. As far as finishing, they've only got like three major sections left. The sewage plant, the cruise terminals, and south of Chelsea Piers. The sewage plant doesn't look like its been worked on in a long time. The others seem to be in progress.
