Baloney at the time the back half of the rail was not designed. Bid requests for the 2nd phase are only going out now. No one knew where the holes would be placed.... if there were about 300 holes to be placed, the city may have dug about a thousand to be sure to cover the right position and probably double the diameter of each hole. Thats about 8 holes for each designed one. 

Instead of asking the legislature to clarify the bones law to dig where the design specifies ground work, she knew she would be breaking the intent of the bones law and delaying rail construction at the same time. 

Her statement was that she didn't trust the city to dig after the designed was completed. Her agenda was to dig where the holes MIGHT be to be sure that they would be dug - even if a route change next 

She clearly was CYA about this to explain her agenda so carefully. Who wants to be responsible for an action that costs the city billions and jeopardizes the futures of our children and grandchildren.
