As I told chow, date of opening also means the Libs should get the credit (or rather, the blame) for the original abysmal Millennium Line... but that wouldn’t be fair to Campbell when it was Harcourt or Glen Clark’s idea. If you're counting on the NDP winning this year and sitting on their butts and/or being denied by the feds until '28, then yes, that would be reasonable.
UBC's agreed to pay for part of it; how big a part, nobody knows yet. As for elevation, if you'll navigate down to Page 136, you'll find that apparently a viaduct through the UEL only saves BC $20m/km and $50m/station ($150m at most), and there's no way they're doing one for Greektown, so the savings aren't as high as you'd think. |
As a fun side note when the Golden Ears was built I was still living in the area, and actually worked at Hammond Cedar Mills (was a university student at the time and that was a great part time job, sadly the mill is closed now) where I was able to watch the entire construction process up close. That was a pretty exciting project to watch.
I am legitimately worried at how goofy budgets might balloon (due to both external and internal factors) for all upcoming projects.
Even if it only would save $150 million, I would want UBC to be responsible for that extra cost.
