The three stage project began in 1998 and was supposed to cost $300 million. But, our media partner, the Marin Independent Journal, reports the district says rising costs and security upgrades after the 9/11 attacks have tripled the cost to $900 million.

This last phase of work is one factor in the district's projected $213 million deficit. It's also why the district is looking to Washington D.C. for help in paying for the project.
