There was an RFP out from Bow Valley College in November soliciting responses for a master plan / site acquisition that would include that entire block, including the old library site.
There's definitely interest in that particular site, but it may be an ugly tug-of-war between the City, CMLC, Bow Valley College and any other interested private suitor. My money is on BVC though.
