All well and good, but after the first good spring rain the sand pile it's built on will be undermined and the thing will get washed away.
I don't dislike the idea of the thing, but the cost to build something there permanently is just more tax dollars, probably a few million, being pissed away by a spend-happy HRM.
Don't other cities make use of existing hard-surfaced areas in the winter for this sort of thing?
