The job numbers calculation seems to be equivalent to saying we will spend this much money, this will hire X numbers of people and there is a multipler so they will spend some of this money resulting in more jobs. Hiring people to dig holes and fill them in again will have the same effect. Chapter 5 has no quantifiable numbers and would apply to any form of quality rapid transit with some forms doing better on some aspects and others on others. There is no comparison between different options. The comparison is what is important. Is LRT as proposed better than doing nothing, is it better than new roads, is it better than Skytrain, is it better than BRT? The study does not say, not much of a 'study.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
