Even with starting construction in 2017, it is going to be a busy couple of years of design to get this going.
I know we are ages from shovels hitting the ground or even the EPCM firm getting their contract... but maybe, just maybe... the city will get cheap construction rates and design rates if the contracts are signed earlier.

And potentially slightly help our economy.

If only this was approved on the books for when oil dropped, but I imagine that is tough.
