Is the light-rail extension to 440 actually under construction? I feel like they’ve been talking about it for years, but nothing actually gets built. ---

The site where the station will be located is currently in site prep. I don’t recall any announcement of it being officially under construction although they did announce that it had “started” in March 2020, right before the pandemic. ---
