Not true actually

Diane Colley-Urquhart said it's been an issue since 2009 when Bronconier bought it with an eye towards development. Then they started to realize the cost and the uphill battle to get it done.

The Flames are plugging into a plan that the city had already envisioned including the CRL.

I think the question is the size of the project and if its size takes away too great a percentage of the land mass hurting collection for the CRL.
