$200 million just for a few at-grade intersections on either side of the tunnel? I guess they're talking about building Airport Trail to the ultimate design right off the bat, which would be stupid. That seems overkill to me, and there's nothing in that story that details where that money goes.

Well, the City gets some say in it. They signed a memorandum of understanding to work together on the design on the SW Ring Road.
