Plans for the ring road, LRT expansions, GE5, McKnight free-flow, <<insert project here>> were all on the books years before the current boom.

We may not have expected as much growth, but certainly you're not suggesting that the only reason we need to expand the C-Train is the past couple of years of insanity.

Hell, the WLRT was planned in the 1980s. The areas it will service were built decades ago. There's a big difference between building for the future (which is what should have been done) and maybe going a bit overboard, and completely doing nothing until things get completely out of control (which is what has happened).
