Agreed, however i would have accepted a new trade centre there before the proposed location. At least then the costs of the interchanged could be absorbed into the new development.
The problem is if places like International place can't get off the ground the land in the cogswell interchange area will sit empty for decades until something is built (based on the historical absorbtion rates of new office downtown over the past 15 years).
The province would need to do the opposite of what it is doing now, by lowering taxes, promoting new businesses to come here and make this place a more affordable place to do business. We are currently going to opposite way .
