"an enormous game changing infrastructure commitement from them. I believe it will be for E/W."

Maybe a good hint at what you are saying could come from the following excerpt from Gravelle's press release

"in order to support communities as they become vital transportation hubs"

Note the plural in communities. If it was n/s, it even misses the single community of Marten Falls, while E/W involves four or five of them.
