I'd also say start now (development plans or no, arena plans or no). But I'm also betting they don't start for at least 7-10 years. Based on that, the arena would have at least kickstarted the cleanup. In fact, I don;t think it will happen absent a real development of some sort, so there will be a construction schedule to meet. Penny wise and pound foolish in that sense.
Unless they can talk a developer into absorbing cleanup cost (not likely).
