And he got it from the Stintz aborted OneCity plan.Got the cost from here: http://stevemunro.ca/?p=6440
All this proves is Karen Stintz got her numbers wrong. The most recent cost estimates were the 2010 estimates TTC did for Metrolinx (when TTC was still managing all the new LRT lines), and the cost was $767 million in 2008 $.
Which is a lot closer in line with Finch.
On the other hand, Transit City has always used a 4% construction price index, and if you do that, and you end up building it in 2033, then $767 million in 2008 $ is about $2 billion in 2033 $. But I wouldn't give Stintz that much credit ...
