I don't know. I was at Jiffy Lube yesterday, and they are building a new shop and carwash right beside their old spot, right at Wilkins and Wellington. He said they were supposed to build last year but crap with the city kept it until this year. And that's just a minor project, not like a big downtown development. Several years ago, a friend was trying to open a pizza shop in a plaza in the north end. 18 months later, he threw up his hands and said "never try to do business with this city, they will bankrupt you".
