Lets hope the site location is closer to East Village. There's tons of land there, way better traffic and c train access, and no remediation costs. Ticks way more boxes than West Village, so not sure why Ken King was so adamant to have it in the west.
I suspect West Village is going to sit as is for another 50 years to be honest. No developer is going to touch that land with such a a massive clean up bill.

I think they were insistent on the West Village because there were no CRL funds available for area redevelopment in the East Village
