She was a good mayor. Sadly a lot of her best accomplishments were securing large grants (like the RAISE grant!) that will payout over the next five years, so the commonfolk won't realize how impactful she was.

The RAISE grant is probably going to be way too little to cover the cost and will burden the taxpayer with bonds to complete. For the down voters, the City has already admitted further funding will be needed.

The engineering consultant on the project has a history of poor cost estimates.
