If not, this is a great idea. Put the line into the games bucket and get some extra matching dollars.

They both did, to the tune of ~ $1.5 billion each which I think is based on the traditional 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 funding model. Maybe the City's angle here on the Green Line is trying to leverage more federal dollars for the project than they may have otherwise given under the original funding model. For example if the Feds are saying they will match the combined funding commitment of the City and the Province, then maybe the City tries to turn that into $3b from the feds for the Green line rather than $1.5.
