[Jan Wostmann]

The question of costs came up in my conversation with Ed Russo yesterday,
and I sidestepped it.  This morning he asked again in a followup email. 
Please see my answer below.  Should any of you be asked about costs, I
hope you will give roughly the same answer.

Jan.
Very good.
I will report that the collaborative has yet to develop cost estimates,
but plans to do so later.

Sorry Ed, I don't have cost estimates.

A couple WEC members who are familiar with construction did some
preliminary work to see if there were huge cost differences between the
various ideas. They report that the biggest difference would be in the
amount of extra right of way that would need to be purchased, but that the
per mile cost of redoing a street is in the same ballpark for most of the
ideas which are still on the table.

The WEC as a whole did not see or review any cost estimates. Rather we
decided to do another round of refining our solution set before we work up
a cost estimate. That refinement will happen at the next full WEC
meeting, tentatively scheduled for mid-October, after we hear from the
public.
