Exactly. Spec things properly and think things through. Canada Line was completed in 4 years and is massively complex project with both bored tunnel, cut and cover tunnel and the bridge for 19km.
Broadway extension is 6 KM and is going to take 6 years. The whole argument that Broadway extension is complex as it is built in the middle of the city does not wash when compared to Canada Line. The problem is that Broadway extension is a jobs program.
We keep this up and very few infrastructure projects will get build in the near future especially with the state of BC government finances. If we are competitively building ferries for BC ferries then why are we not doing the same for infrastructure projects? Why all the union requirements?
