One comment I found interesting and don’t think I have heard before: sell and use the proceeds to offset the price of the new transit hub to taxpayers (which is currently stalled due to a lack of funding).
One transit hub’s retirement helps fund the transit hub of the future. I like that.
I’m sure the region could include their requirements in the conditions of the sale so they still have say in what goes there, but are able to help progress the new transit hub as well.
The transit hub isn't stalled due to lack of funding...it's stalled due to lack of priority. We had plenty of money to spend on the airport.
It doesn't help that the estimated price is utter bonkers for a small single floor building and train platform with minimal amenities. It's literally costing as much as a 30 story apartment building.
