The linked story on gridlock even gives us a bit of a sense of project priority, though there's no A/B/C as previously mentioned, just first and second phase.

Ferguson and McHattie are right to adopt an attitude of cautious optimism. Any time you're dealing with an election promise, it's never what it seems (eg. "We remain committed to fulfilling our promise.... as soon as Criteria X/Y/Z make it prudent to do so.").

On top of that, the province (not sure who or whether it was written down) made the LRT commitment at a time when there was a $600 million budget surplus. By 2017, a decade after that pledge was made, the bean-counters will be lucky to even balance the books.
