At a guess, the governor/mayor is not a repuglican.
If the bikeway was being built by the orange thing, the
headlines would be "predicted to be finished in 10 years, it only took
5, and it's the biggest, bestist bike path EVER, and it ONLY cost US$
10 million".
The nypost is a #FAKE_NEWS conduit, IMHO.

I find it amazing that whoever the Mayor was in 2006 he had to
outsource public property to "big business". Were there NO competent
civil servant  construction workers/engineers available to repair the
facility?
Dunno, sounds like "the art of a con".
