This would be nice but is it worth $80 to $130 million? I'm sure there's a long list of projects that we're not doing because there's no money. Just wondering where citizens would rank this in terms of priority."The project would cost an estimated $80 million to $130 million." https://edmontonjournal.com/news/lo...k-daylighting-project-touted-to-restore-fish/
But since it is more ready than other projects, it might be a good fit for 'stimulus'.
It really depends. Can the city line up the same $ value in storm water management projects to deliver in a short time frame? Transit, rec, roads? It really depends. If you have 10 years to spend the money, most likely you'd find some other project. But imagine tomorrow the city was told it had to spend a pot of money within 18 months on new projects which will be finished by 18 months, and will spend almost all of the money on activity in Edmonton/Alberta/Canada; that is new and incremental activity, not changing the source of funding for planned spending.This would be nice but is it worth $80 to $130 million?

100%.this just seems like pandering on steroids.
They've narrowed the river considerably to make way for the bridge supports. Is excessive flooding or pooling of water in the areas under and around the bridge going to be an issue?
They will dredge all of the land around the bridge piers (only there during construction) and the river will return to its original width. The design engineers have mandated the depth of the footings and they will go well below both the frost line and the bottom of the water table level.They've narrowed the river considerably to make way for the bridge supports.
