The only portion I would consider keeping is the graffiti wall since it is the only thing which is remotely urban. It would really liven up that area and would, God fobid, give people a reason for walking West on Sparks Street at lunch or after work. Proposals for that site can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned, or maybe we could just build this one...

^ I like it! It keeps the large park between Slater and Laurier but still makes good use of the rest of the land. A grocery store there would be fantastic.

Where did those plans come from?

Isn't the old Tech High School Site covered by the Escarpment District CDP? After LRT died, I guess that CDP is up in the air... especially if they have to figure out where tunnel portals are going to go.
