People are upset because something very close to "flawless execution" is what was promised of (and sold to) them. EGRT said there would be no traffic disruptions caused by tunnelling. EGRT said after the first sinkhole that it wouldn't happen again. When it happened again (at the very next possible recurrence) they took expensive and disruptive measures that delayed the project for 6 months. When it happened YET again (at the very next possible occasion) there was even more severe disruption.
People don't like being lied to, even though I do think the recent complaints from Glenayre were over the top.
And people don't like "bait and switch" like the Klahanie elevated section, and the cut-and-cover at Cambie, and now apparently, at Inlet Centre Station.
Many comments are made here complaining about people being uninformed. The root cause of this is that people are repeatedly mis-informed by "experts"
The foul language and goofy icon in your post are rude insults to people (residents, neighbours, voters, taxpayers) who are genuinely concerned.
