Ok class PM 101, there is no bad time to pull pin on a bad project. Sunk cost fallacy.

I care less whos fault it is, UCP and city own their share. Just work together to fix this.

The UCP’s share is significantly bigger, and there’s nobody on earth who would actually believe they’d work with anyone to fix anything.

I am perfectly fine with swapping Locke’s Ogden station to get one on the north side of the river.

People don’t seem to appreciate the convenient of a nearby station for getting around.

They have only themselves to blame for not electing a pedo-rapist in their ward whose only skill is keeping infrastructure away.

As mad as Sunnyside residents were when they were opposed to a station there?

Why would Ogden residences and business be opposed to the LRT boarding the CPKC HQ?

Probably just the comment section of <insert rage bait social media platform here>

Plus Locke is secretly Rick Bell, but refuses to admit even knowing who that is.

I am excited! This is going to be great for people who live downtown, not near centre street and play slow pitch in Lynnwood on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, if you live in Ramsey and have some scrap metal to drop off, a quick trip to Highfield and back!

It also helps people access the Calgary Food Bank.

The rail is continually going to go missing.

So the 4st SE station being at grade - that massive project to relocate all of the utilities was now a giant waste of time/$/hassle?

My question is how is a reduction of this magnitude STILL costing 5.5B? 1B a station? How? What?
