That lot can't be any more polluted than the lots directly North of it - i.e., the beginning of the False Creek South development. The city developed that land several decades back, they surely dealt with the remediation back then. Is there any reason why it can't be dealt with on the parking lot site? Market forces would suggest that a developer could make a good profit from a mid- or high-rise adjacent to a transit node, so I would expect somebody would bite the bullet and develop the lot - remediation costs and all - sooner rather than later. But I may be wrong...?
