Or the underground parking is away from the river, and more towards the Ctrain station, which would mean allow commuters to use that parking/Ctrain combo during the day and no issues about digging deeper into any contaminated soil.
One of my semi connected sources say that the issue now is 1)how much the Flames would be on the hook for the cleanup. The cleanup is likely to add almost a year onto the project. From what I gather, the proposed area for the arena itself may be able to get built on clean lands, but some of the other parts of the final project will need to have that area cleaned up...which leads me to 2),another snag there is that I think the City may want it all cleaned up before putting any shovel in the ground for any part of the project, which is part of the reason for the more current further delays. My contact also thought that very soon after the election there would've been an announcement. though the results of that may have added a further layer of complexity too.
