I'm surprised that the media isn't making a bigger deal about this. The travesty that is the new Devonian Gardens could be the issue that unites people from both sides of the Peace Bridge debate.  |
Wouldn't the construction/renovations & labour costs be covered by the $23 million budget for phase 1?

The first, worth $23 million, was to cover the garden envelope — including ceiling, walls, floors, mechanical and electrical — as well as demolition costs associated with the existing gardens, said Kyle Ripley, manager of parks, planning and development services.

I was more curious about the $14 million 'phase 2' budget approval for dirt, trees, and shrubs.
