Cross posting to the Broadway Extension thread as it also cites an FOI released (and redacted) document about that project, including a Stantec "Reference Project" report.
NOTE: As with Canada Line a "Reference Project" is not the same as an "As-Built Project".

IMO not sure why he put the tie-in with the broadway extention other than to obfuscate it with "problems" with the evergreen line.

The reports are about the design and business case for the projects, but TransLink claimed the information is subject to change and disclosure could harm commercial negotiations.

Bob Mackin takes issue with that?

WRT the evergreen project, the story is important but as present this is not a negative on the govt. Cost overruns are on SNC Lavalin as it is a fixed price contract. Of course, the govt should stick to its guns, and we should pay attention that it does, but the headline suggests that the fault is with victoria.
