If that's because they don't want a project in the West Village they should have just said that. They didn't ... it was pot shots, long waits for responses, moving targets on assigning infrastructure costs, a new plan B.

I don't really know if the City should have responded differently to CalgaryNext. Maybe it felt like a huge delay in response and/or moving targets. But it seemed like a weak opening offer, lacking in substance and oversold, that didn't give the City much to pick apart or counter. Still the City commissioned an environmental stud and came up with an entirely new proposal.
Had the Flames opened as you suggested, they most certainly would be faring better in the PR department. Too bad they didn't.
