Some funding announcements from the federal and provincial governments for the North End sewage plant upgrades. Looks like $200 million from the federal government.
Besides the direct benefits of the sewage plant upgrades, my understanding is the cost of the legally-mandated project has been a bit of an anchor around the neck of the City's budget, and has contributed to holding up BRT build-out.

NEWPCC is eating up all the Cities construction budget. And the uncertainty of the future phases held up other projects. Now that the uncertainty of what's coming is gone, maybe other projects will start to pick up again.
Where the City actually finds the money, $184 million, is another question.
