They have to hold public input sessions to meet the requirements of the fairness process but it's pretty clear that the Asian Pacific Gateway & Corridor authorities have been working on these plans for years. Brad Wall doesn't have much say in the route and access points to this highway, let alone the people of South Regina. I'm not saying this is a bad thing; just pointing it out so that when the politicians start high-fiving each other for doing the right thing and making that highway safe, it will be that much more entertaining.
As for Chamberlain, why not move the town? I've heard of this being done by at least one mining company in the U.S. If a privately owned mining company can justify the cost of buying out every property in a town, I'm sure the Gateway Corridor authorities can as well. Having said that, the cost of two overpasses to cross the railway would be a fraction of the cost of some of the projects to eliminate bottlenecks in the BC mountains.
