Seems like they go and close a whole bunch of lanes and then go off and pick their noses for a week. Here's a radical idea: how about working through the night to get these projects finished.

CITY TV did a story on this not too long ago. The tight labour market has made it impossible to go all out on all the projects underway. They have to shift workers around to complete projects. Added about 6 months to everything....at least.
As for the C-Train not going west, it's because once upon a time (88-93, no one really lived past Sarcee (Coach Hill / Pumphill only I guess) unless you made uber money, and that demographic didn't support extending the train there. An express bus service downtown from those areas was more than fine. Made more sense to put the LRT into the far flung NE and NW.
