This 37th street overpass is a terrible half measure (I would rather call it a quarter measure). Honestly before anything is done the city and the province should be surveying the weaselhead and estimating costs el. My bet is that the weaselhead option is much cheaper and will result in less trouble long term than dealing with the Tsu Tina. Then after going ahead with these new plans, leave all access roads to the reserve alone, including the Grey Eagle access, to avoid pissing off the natives into trying to argue something out of their jurisdiction to slow up the process(Ie: The weaselhead lands created in 1929 when the Glenmore reservoir was created are sacred because 'Insert BS stretch arguement here')

I believe most people are upset with them because of all the time and money wasted negotiating a deal with, that they agreed too, then rejected. They can do whatever they want with their land, but if you waste our time and money then people have a right to be pissed at them.
