Millennium Line - Evergreen Extension | Completed

[squeezied]

Unfortunately, I can confirm that the Evergreen Line won't be starting construction until late 2011. In my transportation course at UBC today we had a guest speaker from translink by the name of Sany Zein who introduced himself as the VP of Translink (though a quick google search on him says he's translink's director of roads). Anyway the following points are what I noted from my conversation with him:

-contractor has not been selected
-have to wait until March 31 to determine whether funding has been realized or not.
-thus no construction can start before March 31; it would have to be 6 months of paperwork or finalizing or whatnot after that date before they start construction.
-ultimately it's up to the province on how important they deem this project. They do have the power to impose whatever will they have to make this a go.

So if funding has been realized, the earliest we can see the project break ground is the start of October.
