So this might start?, Phase 1 anyway. lol

haha Phase 1 is costing more than they originally budgeted for the whole site and all we are getting is a bus loop, shelters and a pedestrian bridge. Oh and we have to preserve a "Heritage" structure because apparently the rumplefelt building is architecturally significant to our region. The kicker is this phase is expected to take 4 years haha. 

Phase 2 will cost us 200 million by the time they get funding. It will provide no retail space, no housing, no commercial space and no covered platforms. It probably won't be constructed until 2030.   

This project was a great idea horribly implemented by the Regions "Engineers".

At this rate by 2040 it's going to cost us a million dollars to re-stripe a bike lane.
