I know this has been touched upon in other threads, but I think this deserves it's own thread.
City council has rejected an 11th-hour proposal to build part of an airport tunnel within the next few years, since that project would have sucked up funds that were devoted to other city road expansion.
Yesterday I emailed the mayor, and CC'd my Alderman. Last night I got a call from Ric McIver thanking me for writing the mayor. I encourage each of you to do the same.

I persoanlly can't see how anybody thinks it's a better idea to spend 3-4 times as much to build this tunnel
after the runway gets built. I love the fact that we have our airport within city limits (unlike Leduc International to the north of us)- I just cannot see why city council would want to cut off access to the airport.
