The story contains this quote from Nenshi: "That one project on 61st avenue might be slightly delayed; nothing else that is currently on the books is being delayed"

Yet, the headline becomes: "Nenshi warns Calgary airport tunnel would delay southeast connector road"
It should also be mentioned, that the article does state that the Peigan connection would still be completed, in other words, the businesses out on 84th Street will have one MORE access to get to the rest of the city than they do currently. Further, it mentions that Nenshi thinks that the 61st Ave connection may only be delayed by a year.

Big non issue, at least that connection. It will go in eventually.

By the time the Airport trail overpass connection is made up in the Northeast, it will have been delayed 2 years.
