For those you who think The Other Guy would have done differently you might be disappointed. Even Dr No would have been Dr Yes on this issue - always has been.

If a large city project gets delayed for too long, it can become so expensive and cumbersome to complete, that it can be delayed for decades. Such is the case with the southwest connector from Anderson Road to Highway 8. Other big projects have been promised. None of them are higher priority than commitments to build the Airport Trail extension (tunnel) and the southeast LRT. Today, both projects look to be in jeopardy for very different reasons.
Credit needs to be given to Ald. Jim Stevenson, Mayor Naheed Nenshi and several other members of council who have made great strides in bringing the Airport tunnel project to fruition. They served notice on the Calgary Airport Authority of their intentions. The government of Alberta was pressed for financial support in short order and said no based on the fact council spent most of the 10-year Municipal Sustainability Initiative dollars on other projects.
