Cost to you = $0

Agreed on the bike infra - which has been reported exactly 0 times by the media during the last 5 years.

Oh indeed, that is the upside of the fixed-cost contract. But it has caused some extra disruption. Although I suppose in the end we’re at substantial completion on time even with the re-work, so maybe it’s not that significant. Maybe I should have instead mentioned the lack of public consultation on the detailed design, which of course is tied in to the bike infrastructure issue — many changes made to the detailed design as compared to the RFP are things which, if proposed separately, would have gone through public consultation.

But yeah, enough about the dome already. Is nothing else happening in this city?
