I do agree with you though, that the current bus barns facility in the Rivers District is prime land. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to CSEC that they will do something impressive with that property though; let's see what they propose first. Keep in mind, they'll have to work with CMLC to follow the design guidelines for that area. |
ironically, that new bus barn is a P3 development at a cost of 174 million dollars. The private partner is "Plenary Infrastructure Calgary LP is a consortium of Plenary Group (Canada) Ltd. and PCL Investments Canada Inc. Other team members include PCL Construction Management Inc. and Johnson Controls Canada LP."
did not hear a single peep about entering a partnership with a private company about this project which is a design, build, finance and maintain model (DBFM)
