      Mayor Naheed Nenshi on the Green Line procurement pause: "I'm very irritated. ... The province needs to get on with it." #yyccchttps://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/green-line-work-delayed-over-provincial-funding-uncertainties …

      Nenshi says it's still possible for Green Line construction to begin in 2021. "It is possible, but it is going to be very tight." He says the entire project isn't on pause, it's just one portion of procurement, but he hopes the province doesn't use this as an "excuse." #yyccc

      Nenshi can't give a precise figure on how much delaying the Green Line will cost, but it's in the order of tens of millions of dollars each month. #yyccc

      Story has been updated again. I asked the transportation minister's office for response to Nenshi's comments from this morning, and this the statement I received. #yyccc https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/nenshi-says-provincial-foot-dragging-could-delay-green-line-work …pic.twitter.com/YvbHrKFtTd

          @RicMcIver way to support your constituents who have been waiting 25 yrs. Not very professional language I would expect between elected officials. Job creation can wait?

          So what parts of #YYC that would be connected by the Green Line are “nowhere?” Do I live in “nowhere?” Who is the MLA for “nowhere?”

          So, let me get this straight... #yyccc agreed to keep the document confidential *from themselves*? Is that what he's saying? Because #yyccc are saying they haven't even had a copy, so 🤷‍♀️

          McIver better be careful talking about a line to nowhere. There are loads of examples about his ministry building roads and bridges to nowhere... new bridge at LaCrete for example.
