Yada Yada 5 said "Condo development in park-like settings would enhance the west harbour location significantly, however. And bring in lots more area residents to support commercial strips a short walk away."

I agree, great point.... but is there a developer willing to pay for all the cleanup and build all these condos while also make some sort of profit on non-Toronto condo prices? I think Jason asks the same question if you actually read this article...

As for the visibility issue, my take is will there not be any visibility from the 20-odd thousand visitors per event that will physically be in the stadium? If all they wasnt is visibility those are a lot of eyes to me! Do people driving by on the highway see the Rogers Centre and ACC and decide - oh, i think i should pull off here and go spend some money somehow, even tho there is no event.... and the doors are locked. They go because of the event.

Ivor Wynne isnt next to a highway, and people still go to games/events - regardless of parking or visibility. An no Ivor Wynne wasn't a mistake - it was built at a time where people had more care in their lives than where to park their cars!

And this is a stretch, but the West Harbour location will actually have visibility from a highway - if you take a glance on your trip over the Skyway bridge! haha

never let a rule stand in the way of a better idea...
