You are incorrect..
1) I am not assuming more government funding will not flow to this project.
2) I am aware development takes times having build / developed a number of high rise projects in downtown Toronto over the years more complex than Market Lands.
3) To suggest questions will be answered in due course is simply deflection.
4) CV’s web page and time line suggested answers to these questions would be provided on January 15th. That’s why we are asking...
My posts deal with a wide range of issues that are of interest to stakeholders as are yours. While I find myself in agreement with the majority of your urban ideas and comments, I have, and continue to disagree with the role CV plays in the City and the way it conducts itself on many occasions. My view is not unique to myself and quiet frankly, only receive push back from you...
If I received countless negative comments from others on this forum or the stakeholders, building owners, politicians, business owners, architectural or design firms we come in contact with, perhaps I would reflect more and reconsider my views, questions and observations.
I also very much appreciated and respect the animated opinion of others and wish for the success of our downtown and Exchange area.
I’m always available when in Winnipeg to have a franker discussion over Gin at Patent 5 or a beer at Nonsuch, two of our more recent urban accomplishments I’m especially proud to have facilitated and participate in to make Winnipeg’s Exchange area better.
