On this front, I think you and dino, and Cappy and Parallax, are arguing pretty much in parallel to each other.
The fact that nothing's been done in decades does not preclude
something being done. And sometimes, all you need is for someone to 'break the seal', so to speak. So if various levels of government indicate potential willingess to clean this area up for the Flames, other groups may suddenly come along. We tax payers are probably still paying nine figures either way, but it just has to be done at some point.
OTOH, they do need to realize that when nothing happens for 60-70 years, the odds of something suddenly happening are remote. The Flames seem to be trying to take advantage of that to drive support for their plans.
So in the end, something else could come along (CMLC could, of course, manage all of this itself), but the odds of that happening in the near to medium term are remote.
