And yet those same employees outsmarted all the developers in quietly assembling all parcels needed. The developers are probably just upset they did not buy the properties first.
That is a good point which should never be forgotten. We often complain, usually justifiably, about ham-handed work by Regional staff. But in the case of buying up the transit terminal lands, they, and Council, did a great job — bought all but one parcel on the sly, and assembled it with no fuss, publicity, or scandal. Not an easy task!
