So because a second rate hotel chain can't afford to provide the plans this eliminates all future developers form being able to do so as well? Who is this guy? Does he have any functioning cells left in his brain? Not to offend, but this mans way of thinking is way to subjective to be allowed to be mayor. Once it is a park, development will never go through, and there goes our link to downtown. I wouldn't mind if one of the other parcels went to green space, not this one though.

I think Katz is trying to turn the attention of the public from the this water park development process debacle to the standard "we hate the Aspers, why do they need a park" knee jerk reaction crowd.

I suspect it will work.

read the fine print...katz wants someone to buy the land from the city and pay to turn it into a park......drew is right...he is trying to divert everyone's attention.

A quick, informal poll - before reading the article, would you believe that this was an actual quote from the article?

Quote:
Katz said it will be very difficult to develop this land in the future because a developer will be required to provide detailed drawings of a potential facility.

The worst part is there is no viable candidate to go up against Katz in a mayoral election.Who is there Gerbassi? Harvey Smith,Justin Swandal this is pretty depressing.

Heh, that's the quote I jumped on in the comments. Because no other projects ever have detailed drawings before approval.

At any rate. A development like that would be awesome in Point Hebert

definitely something residential is ideal for that location. or an open market. or anything that is some "extension" of the forks in some fashion. Even a high end, trendy hotel.

...not a water park from Canalta.

Pretty obvious now since they withdrew that something wimpy was in the works. I mean, if you're not willing to show the public what might end up going there, then you're not looking for something serious to compliment the CMHR.

Yeah, those would really appease Katz. They would look like box seats for his baseball park that he swindled through council with help from the Gang of Eight.

You need a young innocent voice to rally the youth of the City against the old regiment of lies and treachery that breeds in the bowels of City Hall.

I offer you Chris Allard.

You up for a challenge? Start filling the war chests with money now.

I just spend three hours outside half naked (in my pyjama pants, no shoes, no shirt etc.) because I wasn't aware that my front door doesn't open from the outside, unlocked or not. Yeah, I will have to wait for Mayor Candidacy until after the common sense kicks in.... Mind you I have only been here 3 weeks, and I was never aware such doors existed.

Since when is it custom for civilians to walk faster when approached by a half naked man waving his arms in a "come here" gesture? Countless individuals did this as I tried to explain my situation. Ipods really do create a massive communication barrier. I finally found a house with the T.V. on, and in which the individual answered the door.

And in regards to cost, I have already looked that up and it is fairly cheap, less than a hundred dollars. But it is actually running a campaign that will really wear your pocket books, as in, if done successfully it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Evidently this is why millionaires tend to win elections.

Oh and the question in the second paragraph is hopefully obvious sarcasm.

A Central Park for The Forks


By: Richard Hurst

Posted: 1:00 AM

"Many years ago, when I first heard the rail yards were going to be cleared, I envisioned a magnificent central park in the heart of my hometown at The Forks, one of the most historic locations in Western Canada."
