Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

I appreciate that it may not be the best use of public money to replace the Aud. But I also think that our politicians disagree, and that we will have a new arena announced sometime in the next 10 years.

That leaves the location as the only real “debate”. I’ve personally been advocating for the GRT terminal since it’s already publicly owned land, it would help the downtown businesses, and it would be the only option that doesn’t include building tons of parking lots.

If a new Aud is inevitable, which I think it is, I just don’t want to see it built on the outskirts of town, surrounded by a sea of parking lots. I want to see it used as a tool to help other parts of our community.
