Their concern about the redesign is the use of a solid<br>> concrete wall support at this major intersection.The main section,<br>> supporting the station stop, will be over 500 feet long and 26-feet<br>> high; creating a solid support structure close to a quarter mile in<br>> length. It is their belief this structure would visually and physically<br>> divide our community in half and that adding a wall of this magnitude<br>> would stifle economic growth. CKAR is advocating for a column support<br>> structure which it believes would be a positive transit solution. CKAR<br>> believes an open design would generate quality economic development,<br>> provide safer crossings, increased overhead weather coverage for its<br>> patrons and a better design for the elevators and stairs with<br>> uninterrupted visibility (from grade) to discourage crime. On this 5.6<br>> billion dollar project, the cost difference is said to be approximately<br>> 4.0 million dollars.
