I am having a hard time understanding what the 2 billion dollars is going towards. It seems like it's just moving a few things around but not adding anything new. It is unclear if the West station train project is included in the 2 billion dollars or an additional cost after the fact.

Gonna cost a shit ton to drop the Pike to ground level.
I don't know anything about the station.
This will be a mini-"big dig". I'd bet it's at least double the $2B.
I'd pay triple to bury the pike underground just like the big dig.
Well, they are covering it piece by piece... kinda.
