The proposed Airport Parkway and Lester Road realignments should be built before the rail, to minimize construction delays along the rail line and promote adjacent development as envisioned by the Airport. An interim diesel line could then be built along the existing Airport Parkway. The ultimate rail line adjacent to the realigned Airport Parkway can be built after electrification, which would eliminate the need for grade separations and preserve the continuity of the road network.

The City intends to extend rail in advance of the road as an incentive for transit use. An interim diesel line would also require grade separations at Uplands and the Airport Parkway and would not make effective use of the existing rail corridor.

So clearly the representative giving the reply did not understand the reccomendation. Richard Eade's plan from above should have been printed and submitted to avoid the confusion as to what 'running the DMU along the current parkway' means. Such fools we have.
