General Road and Highway Discussion

This is exactly it. It's actually good planning, looking forward to known projects that are coming down the pipeline, even if the interim stage feels a little wrong.

There is no reason to use concrete on the boulevard as "preparation"...the concrete there cannot be used to put tracks on, it will have to be torn up to place the tracks. It would have been cheaper, easier, and more environmentally friendly to put grass for the 10, 20, 30 years it'll take to build the LRT.

I don't think they are saying that the concrete wouldn't need to be torn up, rather that the entire road would not need to be torn up.
