So will there be a CRL to help out these some 320,000 square feet of surface lots -
link? Don't get me wrong here as I think it's wonderful that Edmonton has a new arena and a bunch of new development around that arena but Edmonton does have a plethora of surface level parking lots in other areas of it's downtown that do not appear to have any development slated for them.
Now that's not to say that Calgary does not have surface lots either but there isn't an area large enough that's currently surface parking in downtown Calgary that will accommodate just an arena. South of downtown in Victoria Park and on the Stampede grounds, yes, as well as the West Village area but actually downtown, no.
