Considering that the cost of punching a tunnel 500 yards under the Allegheny is at $600 million right now and increasing every day, how much tax money will it take for a 3 mile long tunnel?
The Pittsburgh subway is a sad joke Willie and PAT is a damn criminal enterprise.

All of these projects would be a lot cheaper if they just got off their dupas and built the dang thing instead of arguing about it and dragging it out fot 10~15 years.
Those tunnel boring machines work pretty slick!
I bet they can burrow to Oakland in no time.
Those hills aren't made of granite, you know.
Probably sandstone or shale or limestone or something easier to cut through like that.
I'd say a lot cheaper than it cost to build all the other tunnels in Pittsburgh back when they used pollocks with pickaxes.
(all dollars adjusted to account for inflation of course.)
