Region cobbling together funding for Kitchener transit hub.

Looks like the Record is talking about funding for $106 Million ....Years ago...I was under the impression that the Province was paying for $40 million and that was to cover the cost. I was also under the impression that the RFP stated that Ball Construction was too expensive...It rather stranger that $106 Million is Ok now.

Honestly, this is looking like a pretty serious quagmire.

I don't like the design, so I'm a little biased obviously, but we're spending over a 100 million on....almost nothing, a bus loop, waiting building, plaza, way way over budget.

This boggles the mind, is nobody questioning this?

How much does it cost to build a building like, say, the six storey office building beside the TD. That's a high end building, but vastly more ambitious than our transit station. Is it seriously an order of magnitude more than 100 million?
