You're only looking at a list of 2018-2019 GL-1 projects that are funded, not the entire list of GL-1 projects. Only two of the bullet points on the MoveBR figure are not on the list of Green Light Plan projects (or were not at some point in time).

MoveBR is essentially the same bill of goods as the Green Light Plan extension that failed. That doesn't necessarily make it a bad plan, but it's disingenuous to pretend that it's a completely new package.

WRONG 265.10 Million out of the 805.5Million dollars of proposed projects or 33%.

If you add in all the enhancements, sidewalks, traffic lights, bike paths, synchronization, etc. then it's 24% of the entire plan, but do we know if all the bike path, sidewalk, enhancements and synchronization projects in GL1 were all finished? We do not.

I'm seeing one out of four dollars of this tax going to complete GL1 projects.
