Tom Beekman Quotations

The $2.0 million less the cost of the studies might leave $1.5, $1.3 million. You might get the ramps for that, but if you get into reconstruction of that bridge and the approaches to bring them to standards for the next 30 to 40 years, that would could easily double the cost of construction.

The degree to which this will fit into our immediate future - do we have the staff, can we get a consultant lined up, does this fit into our priorities - are all questions.

At this point in time it is not our intent to stop the project. This project has legs. The degree to which those legs can run is dependent upon whether or not we can reach a local agreement.

That may be true. I guess I need to clarify that if we want this project to have legs, to go beyond just simply a gleam in people's eye of what they ultimately want to have, a local agreement will have to be in place. The department's ability to spend any beyond what had been earmarked isn't going to be there either.
