Let others compete and see what they come up with. If it turns out Calatrava has the best design then fine you go ahead with the project. I just don't agree with handing the project over to someone without an open competition. It may be provinical money we're using here but I still think council has a duty to try and balance design vs cost and get the best value for our tax dollars. Any savings could be put toward other infrastructure projects that are coming up.
