It's this much because Windsor demanded it. The federal government wanted to just give us a real quick fix that just routed shit back to the Ambassador bridge.
My latest issue of Tollroad News just arrived and included an informative article about Canada's $billion+ Parkway-to-Nowhere . http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/4972 The Windsor folks had a glitzy press conference last week to announce the awarding of construction contracts. The Tollroad News people sense a boondoogle to say the least. Maybe they feel that way because the beautiful new parkway will be toll-free. Oh well. Anyway, the mailman just dropped off the new issue of Suspension Bridge Monthly. Let me check and see what their take is on this stuff.
