Why this plan works

Every stop sits in Downtown, so the whole plan happens inside one neighborhood. Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Lewis & Clark Landing at The RiverFront — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it.
