Exorbitant Cost?

How come this minor upgrade cost 180 million dollars?

"The Point Defiance Bypass project includes the new Amtrak passenger train station, 14.5 miles of new and upgraded track, and five reconstructed at-grade crossings - each with advanced warning and signal systems."

https://www.soundtransit.org/Projects-and-Plans/point-defiance-bypass

The station was $10 million, and if we gratuitously estimate each kilometre and each crossing at a $1 million each, that still 'only' would cost $39 million. 187.143.35.182 (talk) 06:10, 24 December 2017 (UTC) baden k.Reply

It appears that Sound Transit changed the name from Lakeview Subdivision to Lakewood Subdivision at some point. It definitely used to be Lakeview (, , ), but Sound Transit (, ), WSDOT (), and industry publications () now all call it the Lakewood Subdivision.

Thanks for looking it up. I'll keep searching around the mangled archives on ST's website to find out when they shifted to calling it the Lakewood Sub, but I had been confused because it was always Lakeview in pre-2017 coverage. Sounder Bruce 05:38, 24 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
