Mandel: Stuck On Stupid. They are steamrolling ahead without so much as a good clue what it will cost or even a preliminary plan for the site. This isn't even at the spooky clipart cut-out people rendering stage.

That isn't the cost to close the airport, that isn't the cost to decommission and remediate the site, $45 million is just the cost to hopefully settle the leases with the tenants out of court.

It could cost Edmonton $100,000,000 just to get to a vacant lot,
This is a page right out of the AEG's playbook

Nice try PW, "leaked documents" with no source... lol. That's exaclty with the Envision "volunteers" have been spewing in their vain attempt to get signatures on their petition.

What's your vested interest in keeping YXD open ? You certainly don't have the best interest of Edmontonians in mind
