And Calgary 88 had a 59% over run. So which one do we beieve that this one wil be closer to?
That bid's budget accuracy and realism is very very much the problem though.
They can't even tell us who would cover overruns that may be 18% or could be far far more by the time 2026 rolls around.
Not to mention that the infrastructure proposed to be the "legacy" of spending 6 billion dollars, doesn't address 2 of the biggest things this city needs in regards to sports facilities. That's asinine to me.
Though even knowing ALL that, I am still hoping there is true clarification by BidCo on the known issues that allows me to change my mind.
