Which doesn't make sense, as that's needed either way. In fact, the road would need to be bigger in the future without the tunnel.
It is (Metis Trail) actually out for tender, and should be open at least two lanes all the way through from where it ends now at 80th Ave to CHB by the end of November. The city put incentives into the tender so that it partially opens by then.
4x4:
The land is owned by the federal government, I doubt the city built the road in the first place. Either way, it was always known that the road was likely temporary.
