Lacks integration with other municipal projects
The project designers and the Municipal government failed to integrate this following projects into the design of the bike path, wasting tax payer dollars.
Ojo del Agua Parking: $500,000
Plaza de la Amistad: $730,000
El Faro & Lighthouse renovations: $2,000,000
Plaza del Mercado: $1,500,000
El Nuevo Dia story summarizing project costs (pdf file)
Fails to consider existing uses
The project is overbuilt
At Pools Beach, the project includes an elevated bridge and a massive cement structure on the sand. Is this how the project should integrate with Pools beach?
At Playa Marias the plan include two "plazoletas", a bridge over Quebrada Piletas and a road along the beach.
The project is outrageously expensive
Cost: $17.3 million dollars = $5.1 million/mile

The U.S. will ultimately foot the bill for this project. We should limit the funding for such projects in PR. American Taxpayers that is!
