The attraction for me on the calgaryNEXT notion (flawed design concepts, financing aside) was getting the stadium/fieldhouse/arena. Once that's off the table, yeah, WV can be developed however the City wants. I think taxpayers will eat all of the cleanup costs and a large part of the development infrastructure costs.

The boulevard was in place of Bow Trail, not in addition to. The land taken up would be virtually the same - just in street form rather than current highway form.
The arena/stadium takes up a lot of (otherwise) taxable land.
