Calgary’s mayor knows how much a proposed airport tunnel will really cost, but he’s not letting the cat out of the bag, just yet.
Naheed Nenshi says the cost of building the link to airport is much less than the numbers his opponents were throwing out during the election campaign.
People calling for the tunnel say it will be needed once Barlow Trail is closed in the spring to make way for a new runway.
While the new number will be presented to council on January 24th, Nenshi tells the Sun the actual number is much closer to what he was using in his campaign, or about $170 million.
