Unless the province has actually acuquired the titles to the 4x worth of land they were going to swap, in addition to the dumptrucks of hundreds of millions in cash, then I can't see it being "more guaranteed". That was the sticking point, the Tsu Tina thinking that the province was going to screw them on the proposed land swap because titles weren't in hand....pretty hard to get all those titles in hand that far in advance. This, of course after the band leader told them to accept the offer.
Very good chances that it it is much more cash, maybe additional access built as part of the project to their commercial projects and casino. Surprised the details aren't out, but I expect that they will be before the vote....but cash is king and that's what will be the big addition now.
With the hotel going up beside the casino (in addition to I am sure the plans waiting for outlet mall type shopping), the TT needs a ring road type access to be able to bring people in....otherwise, who's going drive there as a destination, to stay at that hotel in the middle of nowhere? Besides the hookers and people running from the law, that is.
Moved out of the area now, but that part of town is fantastic; carving up one city home for a stop gap road would be tragic. If this fails, allow the only access to the casino/hotel from the other entrance via far west Anderson and build a cement wall around the current 37st/Glenmore area to also prevent parking in Lakeview, and have the Calgary Parking Authority camped out daily for those that do try and park in West Lakeview or South Glamorgan and walk over.
