It is unclear if the original estimate of $178 million, starting point, includes land purchases and realignment of roadways and infrastructure services.

I’m sure the city will continue its self-serving and hidden agenda to push this irresponsible project proposal forward. Perhaps a referendum will finally be initiated after the city announces its costs.
