I am also noting this report is dated March 2014. There is a reference to 3 lines travelling under the Margaret St bridge. Hasn't our city already reviewed this and decided we are ok with a bridge that can accommodate 2 lines and squeeze in a third?
It will be interesting to see if our politicians acknowledge this report. I hope they do and provide some clarification as we need to get in on this project.
Maybe it would have been good to bury the rail line at Weber, but that also seems complicated and would have surely increased the cost of the Weber St reconstruction.
As I recall, what happened with the Margaret St bridge was that the city decided that the province wasn't returning its calls (and/or had no clue about what the plan would be) and so just decided to go ahead and rebuild at 2 lines; the cost of HSR would dwarf a bridge rebuild anyway.
I also thought I saw Ken Seiling and Sean Strickland speak in favour of the EA.
