A certain population of this city is freaking out at the ~700m price tag for it. If it were ALL underground it would be well north of a billion.
Having said that, underground would be awesome. One just needs to look at the Vancouver Canada line to see how great it is...but that comes at a cost. That line was more than double the cost of this one. I believe it's longer in length however it's still a good measuring stick for the cost.
I'm happy my street (29th) is getting shut down. Should make it a much calmer road which will help alleviate some of the traffic noise. It'll be a painful time but well worth it in the end.
