Why hasn't the Preferred Alternative been implemented if it was created in 1998?

A number of elements of the Preferred Alternative have been implemented since 1998, including the Maroon Creek Bridge, roundabout, pedestrian overpasses over Maroon Creek and Castle Creek Roads, Harmony Road underpass and intersection improvements, Owl Creek Road realignment and new signals at Highway 82 at Buttermilk Mountain, the Main Street bus lane addition, new signals on Highway 82 at Buttermilk, and conveyance of right-of-way. (In 1996, Aspen voters approved an easement across Marolt-Thomas Open Space for two lanes and a light rail in exchange for Mills Ranch property as open space.)
