The impending high rise developments on Prince Albert across from Supertsore have been on the books for many years prior to 2012 and we all know there will be a significant increase in traffic and then there will be more calls for lights at the intersection and then staff will redesign the intersection.
I know some of the people who own vacant lands in that area and they know from talking to planners that there will be a need for changes in how the intersection is aligned.
Expropriation for fair value was possible all those years ago and any court action by the developer would have failed - as they usually do. The King Street lot was expropriated over 41 years ago for redevelopment, and there were no plans or technical drawings at the time of expropriation,and remains unwanted except as a parking lot.
