Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 3061692, member: 5195"] The grid plan sounds better than it did when it was first proposed IF the entire city network was rehabilitated. BUT the nature of that project is more susceptible to cutting corners. There are no built-in guarantees to fix all the roads that we saw in those renderings. The only guarantee is the viaduct comes down and the boulevard underneath it would be repaved with a median. I can easily see the state rationalizing they don't have the money to finish the rest of what they promised because the other roads would still be "functional" and therefore not a priority. Hate to be cynical but we've been burned too many times by failed developments. On the flip side, if they had to rebuild the viaduct or bore a tunnel, they would have less wiggle room to abandon promises. You can't leave a bridge or a tunnel half-completed. [/QUOTE]
