(...)Will any delays with the Confederation Line LRT impact Stage 2
construction?
Watson said the plan has been to start Stage 2 construction in 2019 after awarding the contract later in 2018, so any Stage 1 delay won’t impact the start of the next phase. As for the 2018 launch date for Stage 1, Watson said the city should be able to provide a start date in the next two months.
