Queen's Quay update:
Currently in the formal EA process under a Class C schedule EA.
Expected to report out for approval this year, construction date is not yet determined, but the hoped for completion date is summer 2011. (which means construction no later than spring 2010.)
Project is likely to be in sync with the new Queen's Quay East LRT
