That is indeed the plan, but they will have turning lanes, so it won't be like it is rush hour where there's only one lane south, and some dimwit is holding everyone up by trying to make a left hand turn.
 
I liked that video a lot! :)
 
Very inspiring, makes me wish they were building the Green Line right now. It'll be nice to find out the final Beltline alignment in June.
 
Don't forget your MCAT prep:

According to this Herald Article council is having some sticker shock over the debt financing costs of building the Greenline. More delays and/or value engineering could be on the way sadly. :(

I guess with projects this big there will always be sticker shock. I hope they stick to their guns and do the inner city/downtown portion properly.

I'm totally ok if they phase the project in. I'd rather they do a good job slowly rather than a regrettable job to meet some unnecessary internal timeline.
 
Hi Group,

Didn't realize that the Green Line Topic was on Skyrise Cities. Found It by chance. I have been following this Topic Plus the Crowchild Tr. Project on a City Web Site. Guess it now gives Me Two Sites to visit. My Interests are Tnsptn and Real Estate but have been doing Cities on Skyrise. As a rule. Its mostly Calgary and Toronto. I will B most interested to see how this all pans out.

Tnx,
Operater.
 
Hi Group,

I was on a C Train and Got off at the Chinook Station on My way home. There is a Large TV Screen etc. Saw that there was a Topic I believe had to Do with what I Believe is Funding for the "Green Line" by Joe Cecie the Finance Minister in the AB Govmnt. The Mayor was on Next with some Comments. I Missed Parts of It so didn't get the Whole Story. I Could B Wrong and if So that' s OK. Question? Has the
AB Govmnt agreed to Finance a Portion of Green Line? Haven't seen anything on the News - Yet or on a City Web Sites as of Yet. Still
Looking for now. Anyone know Anything or was I looking at an Old Video?

Tnx,
Operater.
 
That's right, no official agreement, but I'm confident there will be funding, it's a matter of how much an over what period of time.
I believe they are talking about using the carbon tax for this correct?
 
Hi Group,
Hey Cowtown! I am Not Sure Either, Myself. I only got the tale end of the Topic on the TV Screen so Its a good chance I missed Key Information. Hey It Happens. The Idea of Using the so Called "Carbon Tax" aka Rip Off Tax to Finance LRT Sounds like a Good Deal. Yes it would B interesting to see what happens.,

Tnx,
Operater.
