It's interesting to think that Victoria Park, for the most part, is cleaned up of all the sketch and crud. THe project to run 17th ave through to Cowboys Casino will create a loop of entertainment and culture, and a developed arena lands area would help create that vibe.
I do feel sorry for anyone that is going to / has purchased in the Orchard development though, that sounds like it's going to be a noise factory 24/7.

Definitely one of the benefits, which the Mayor highlights, of the Victoria Park site is it's much more shovel ready than West Village.
