The federal government is giving Edmonton another ~$31M for the 50 Street rail overpass & lane widening project. This replaces most of the $33M extra the city agreed to pay last spring, giving Edmonton money back to pay down debt or fund something else. #yeg #cdnpoli #yegcc
I'd love if the Federal government upped the amount for a certain Capital line extension.
Are you saying it's enough to do so, or did anyone from the city promise this?That money the city is getting back will cover the beautiful pedestrian bridge across from Hotel Mac that was eliminated in the last budget talks.
I'd love to see the Metro Line extension to Castle Downs get expedited firstI'd love if the Federal government upped the amount for a certain Capital line extension.

It would not surprise me by the time it's completed in like 2031 that the final price tag is $500m.Probably north of $200 million is my guess. It's going to be a long bridge
