I can't imagine how much all of that cleanup is going to cost, It's going to be staggering.
From what I remember during the whole CalgaryNext issue, the creosote contamination doesn't spread as far as the Greyhound depot. It's mostly under Renfrew Chrysler, Bow Trail, and the western part of the GSL lot.

There's an image on page 12 of this document showing the extent of the contamination: https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...+18+16+V16.pdf


That said, after decades as home to the Greyhound station, the land underneath it will have its own environmental concerns, but nothing to the extent of the creosote.
