Well, technically it would be $165 million, since the point of the article is that half the cost would be paid for by tolls... and "we" wouldn't be paying for all of 'that half', as a significant portion would supposedly come from all the "free" money the feds are already dolling out to the provinces for infrastructure.
Is a new hospital still in the works? I thought the NS government missed out on that as a possibility. That would certainly be a good use of our tax dollars (seriously). Weren't we going to have a separate thread for the hospital?
I too have been caught in rush-hour traffic throughout the municipality, and I too wouldn't care about it if I were retired and had all the time in the world...
