Imagine you want to put in an in-ground sprinkler system at your house; but the issue is the driveway is in your way. You put the sprinkler plan on the 2-5 year plan down the road and start work on your basement instead. Tomorrow you get a notice from the city that they need to do work and will be ripping up and replacing your driveway. Would you not fast-track your sprinklers?

I know where you're coming from, and like I said, I 100% support the early building of the tunnel (or parts of).
My only issue is WHAT they intended to cut in order to accomplish the build. The jobs being specifically targeted are more important today than the tunnel may be in 10 years. If they can find money by cancelling "fireworks and street festivals", I'm all for it.
