Considering what others have said that CSEC is interested in real estate development along with building a new arena, it forces a timeline for them to follow if they want to have as much control and influence as possible before an Olympic bid could possibly take control out of their hands.
The CMLC conducted Victoria Park/Rivers District draft plan should be getting presented soon, which would include how the arena should be integrated with the area as a whole. CSEC is involved as a stakeholder. With that on the horizon, and council beginning again next month, I'm interested to see if arena talks pick back up again after the plan is released. Maybe not formally announced publicly, but that should be the time that would make the arena talk have renewed attention for a brief bit.
