I find the costs to be higher than I expected. For the, roughly, 6 km between Moodie to Terry Fox, I would have estimated the following (based on the City’s estimates made during the Confederation Line and other construction):
$50M/km for track, OCS, etc. X 6km = $300M
$30M/station X 3 (Moodie, March, Terry Fox) = $90M
$40M/km rock cut through ridge X 1km = $40M
$40M elevated overpass of rail line = $40M
$120M March/417 interchange reconfig. = $120M
$20M Pedestrian overpass = $20M
That gives a total of $610M. I wonder what I am missing to get up to the City’s $710M estimate. Maybe $100M contingency?
