I think the NCC is right to say that options should be explored because the best solution might actually be to use Richmond/Byron even if it would cost more in the long run. Let them pitch in or lobby the feds for the increased cost if they really don't want the Parkway to be touched.
I agree that the Richmond/Byron alignment deserves serious consideration, and its costs and benefits should be fully assessed. But is there or will there be grassroots and political support for this option? I have not seen Carlingwood and Ambleside residents pushing for it even though they would be the main beneficiaries. Do you expect Cullen to eventually reverse himself and support it?
