We will have to wait and see for phase 2 of the Broadway subway, which I have a feeling massive increases in the estimated budget may throw a wrench into plans (unless they do a sensible approach and reduce the subway segments and increase the elevated segments. UBC doesn't need it to be underground unless they are willing to pay for the excess cost over elevated rail).

Passive-aggressive? It's one random joke, and not even directed at you because you've made it very clear over the years that you're in Japan (i.e. nowhere near the bridge). Yeesh.
As I told chow, date of opening also means the Libs should get the credit (or rather, the blame) for the original abysmal Millennium Line... but that wouldn’t be fair to Campbell when it was Harcourt or Glen Clark’s idea. If you're counting on the NDP winning this year and sitting on their butts and/or being denied by the feds until '28, then yes, that would be reasonable.
UBC's agreed to pay for part of it; how big a part, nobody knows yet. As for elevation, if you'll navigate down to
Page 136, you'll find that apparently a viaduct through the UEL only saves BC $20m/km and $50m/station ($150m at most), and there's no way they're doing one for Greektown, so the savings aren't as high as you'd think.
