We went to the open house at McMahon tonight. Have to say it was quite well done, informative, and detailed. The city has done their homework on this and is providing quite a few different options for each of the bottlenecks along Crow. There's 2-3 for 24th /23rd / 5th / Kensington / 17th Ave + Bow Bridge.
As expected there were about a dozen people there who were loudly complaining about how this is a total shock to them and their property value. Complaining how the city never mentioned this before and has completely ruined them financially ...I have no idea how this "snuck" up on anyone when its easily the worst bridge and likely worst stretch of road in the city.
Anything is an improvement over the clusterfrack there and I can easily see it topping out around $1BB. This is a MASSIVE project. Just hope there is the $$ available and the actual will to get this done.
