We’ve already got a great central library, but it’d be great to see the city do something of that scale with the funds and let it be the lasting legacy from this debacle. Something specific we could point to in ten years time as an example of a city that bucked the trend of bankrolling luxury boxes for the ultra wealthy.

If we're looking at doing something like that, I'd say put that money towards the new field house which is one of the City's next big projects. Or, a new (and needed) rec centre in the west end of downtown to anchor/kickstart the development of the West Village.
