It is amazing how the timeline has shifted over the years.
When council first picked LRT over BRT in June 2009 the expected start was "Late 2014: Opening day for electric trains."
When the original LRT route was approved in June 2011 the expected start was "2017".
When they awarded the contract to GrandLinq the expected start was "mid-2017"
To where we are today, late 2018 at the earliest.
Based on how the region seems to be going out of the way to avoid criticizing GrandLinq, it appears to be convinced that their best hope of recouping costs is from Bombardier.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
