I guess you could say the same about those massive interchange projects in 'burbs that cost $150 million, or somewhere in the nine-figures. I like how those go under the radar and once found out, no real public outcry (especially interchanges that only minority of Calgary's will ever really use).

The City doesn't do a good job of publicizing projects, but such is the case with many, multiple projects in its existence. And in the end, who cares? They're tasked with making infrastructure developments. They don't need a plebiscite on every single infrastructure project just to please the masses.
