The costs continue to go up. This should have been taken care of 30 years ago. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse. And cost more $$$$$$$$$$$$.

No, not taking it seriously is just thinking we can do everything that should be done all at the same time. Because apparently as a city we're just sitting on Scrooge McDuck piles of cash we just need to spend.
We have no idea what the costs are going to be because we have no idea just how bad the contamination is. We have an urban re-development under progress that's not filled out and would be hindered if we opened up a ton more land for development. Since the city allocated tax based funds to implement this development, they want to ensure the value is recovered from it as much as possible before opening up new land.
Regardless your "brutal argument" comment earlier, a microscopic percentage of people were talking about creosete cleanup before the Flames magnanimously declared they would revitalize the area for a small handout that's probably going to exceed a billion dollars.
