Hansen says the vacant Greyhound Station is a great location for this kind of project.

"A lot of cities don't have a site like that so close to their urban core that isn't slated for immediate development," said Hansen in an interview with CTV News.

"It also has those really amazing natural barriers that make the site really unique."

Those include the Bow River in the north, CP railway lines to the south and 14th Street to the east.

This could make a ton of sense for the short-mid term.

The dealerships would need extra security to protect their catalytic converters. I'm sure the Merc dealership in particular will not be stoked.

Another concern I'd have is the proximity to Millennium Park...this is a broad stereotype, but I'd worry that there might be a fair number of skater kids who might be vulnerable to the influence this could bring.
