So does anyone know what happened to that other slated development for the Packer Lands/Public Markets? And what are your thoughts on the Public Service's statement in the Employment and Commercial Lands study from May 16, 2018?
"The Public Markets site was identified as a major redevelopment site during the previous OurWinnipeg planning process, and has been encouraged to redevelop as a mixed-use commercial, residential, and business park area. This has not occurred for a variety of reasons, including access constraints to the west, infrastructure constraints, increased environmental remediation costs, desirability of the site and area for residential development, and the overall cost prohibitive nature for non-industrial development. While appropriate buffering and transitions to surrounding areas would be required, the City should re-examine the major redevelopment site designation and refocus future development towards modern industrial or business park models. The site is one of the larger intensification and redevelopment opportunities within the City of Winnipeg for industrial and employment uses, and this should be capitalized upon. " Page E-43

Why were there open houses on residential development when it seems that was demonstrated to be less viable?
