The single biggest thing for us in the deep south is that we may not really get any use for it now. It was built before the runway so that in 10-20 years when it is desperately needed; it is there. Depending on the various estimate, building it after the fact would have cost somewhere between double and quintuple the current cost. That is of course if YYC even allowed it at that point.
In a city where our greatest infrastructure challenges today are the lack of forward thinking decades ago, it's refreshing to see they got it right this time.
