ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[ac3r]

There is a writeup of the Phase 2 environmental assessment in The Record.

Any idea why they are referring to Phase 1 as a "1 billion dollar project", as I recall it was under 900 million. That's a pretty big gap.

It is notable that Cambridge is going to be a solid 50% more.

They're probably rounding up for the sake of the article. While it was 50 million over budget, it was still below 900 million in the end.

Cambridge will end up costing more because we'll be building so many sections of it elevated. The amount of engineering and construction needed to get it across the Grand River Valley will be immense for this region.
