I imagine that a rendering is just a rendering, but if you expect to attain the pictured vision, the city will be expropriating an additional dozen or so properties around Bay and Stuart.

Aside from that, the political fatigue on this file is the deal-breaker. Without forceful leadership, it's understandable that the bid components would be scattered on the wind.

And if I'm not mistaken, it's not just council and the Cats that need convincing, either. Permanent velodrome cost has been pegged at $21-25 million, a $10-14 million funding gap. On top of which the NCCH's velodrome enthusiasm broke from West Harbour in the summer. (In September, the group asked council for the two facilities to be separated; potential alternate sites include Olympic Park, Confederation Park, East Mountain and YHM.)
