What remains uncertain

31 October 2026 source review. City statements reproduced in original unedited city press-release syndication, official maps or USACE statements are source-linked. Future construction schedules do not equal actual physical starts, and a substantial phase may finish without completion of the full project. Confidence is documentary, not probabilistic.
