Just a fun tidbit, the Green Line LRT Request for Pre-Qualifications (RFPQ) came out today - it's called the Shepard Phase. This RFPQ is for the stretch of the 4th Street station through Inglewood/Ramsay to 126th Avenue Southeast.
From APC:
The Project is the first phase of the Green Line Light Rail Transit Project and comprises an approximate 16km long low-floor LRT line extending from the east of the proposed 4th Street station through Inglewood/Ramsay to 126th Avenue Southeast (the Shepard Phase”). It will include a combination of approximately 1 km of elevated guideway and 15km of at-grade sections as well as a maintenance and storage facility (the “Maintenance and Storage Facility” or “MSF”). Other key structures include 10 stations (two elevated stations, and eight at-grade stations), numerous bridges, three park-and-ride facilities with a total of approximately 1900 parking stalls. The estimated cost of the Shepard Phase is estimated to be $1.2 billion. (“Project Cost”)
Again, just some fun info for those fans of city building and development. The time has finally arrived for this hog, HERE WE GO...
