the Canada Line is often characterized as disruptive (by critics) or cheap (by proponents) thanks to a secretive P3 structure, but is imo better understood as the government of the time being agnostic about construction techniques and consciously making trade-offs to reduce costs
Recently found myself reading the judgement for one of the Cambie merchant lawsuits and was struck by just how much shorter the disruptions were for the CL. This one business experienced 3 years of general disruption, and only 8 months of actual cut-and-cover work. www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcsc/d...
