But I suppose the rail loop that serves all 10 people who currently catch the 903 bus is still on the agenda with a price tag of $100 billion. Good stuff Andrews.

    I think that one's quietly being shelved as well. With the budget shortfall there's no way it could get funded.

    Didn’t they sign the construction contracts in November? That it’s not like the budget issue sneaked up on them.
