The earlier finished phases just had their parking lot gouged out for the Strandherd bus underpass.

The site had always been designed for the Transitway to run through it regardless of when it was eventually announced to be built. The strips in the middle left the space open for the bus lanes and they were built almost a decade ago. There were very few spaces in the parking lot that was gouged out for the underpass. That space had been left as a pathway since development with the except of a few spots that were paved over to connect one section of the parking lot with another.
