Guelph Transit

Source?  I assume most of these streets are built with development charges or by the developer directly (meaning the cost is ultimately passed on to the home owners) and I'm highly skeptical that a mile of suburban road costs millions of dollars to build.

I know Ontario isn't Florida, but this link was the first result I got from google puts the cost for a "New Construction 2 Lane Undivided Urban Arterial with 4' Bike Lanes" at $4,266,105.41 per mile. When you think of the land costs, labour, materials, services required to support and maintain it, it doesn't really seem that outrageous to peg the costs in the millions per mile. I imagine labour costs being higher in Canada would push the cost per kilometer to be even higher.
