Calgary 's point man on the Green Line says mega-projects need to be well thought out and planned from the beginning.

Devin Dreeshen says he's trying to work with Calgary city hall.

He says city hall politicians had sent no questions to the provincial government on the new Green Line .

The Alberta government will not bankroll a short Green Line stub with a tunnel route through the downtown.

There seemed to be frustration this humble scribbler wrote about the new alignment for the Green Line the same morning a working group, including Gondek and a couple of councillors, were getting filled in on what was what. “Did the province let the working group know that Rick Bell would be informing the public of what you were just learning about?” asked a visibly upset Gian-Carlo Carra , the councillor known by many of you. Oh my. Once again, the egos of the city council majority focusing on the important stuff..
