Building Boom Causing a Shortage in Tower Cranes

The full 102 project was in the range $300M, and that included all of the work leading up to the highway on the peninsula as well as expanding the highway out to Bedford. It was for the whole "corridor".

That being said, some of the key bottleneck road projects are only a few million dollars and commuter rail had an estimated capital cost in the $30M range (though that depends on what is actually built, if anything). At this point I think the city would get a bigger bang for its buck from a mixed approach consisting of some transit and "low hanging fruit" road improvements like along Bayers Road.

I think some streetcar routes or LRT extensions around the peninsula could also be really valuable if combined with plans to build up areas like Young Street. From an urban planning and servicing perspective it is a huge win to have a new neighbourhood of say 5,000 people living there and taking transit instead of living in Clayton Park or Bedford West and mostly driving.
