Thing is Bingo, to have a negotiation you have to have two sides that both want something. It doesn't appear like the city is really getting anything that it wants. It wants a dedicated public-use field house, CalgaryNEXT doesn't have that. It wants to continue developing the east village, CalgaryNEXT works against that. It wants to build its tax base with the west village redevelopment, CalgaryNEXT doesn't do that.
So yeah, its looking like the City has no interest in this project at all and why should they?
