Once upon a time the Epton site was my pick for a downtown arena. Now, I have no real concrete thoughts on renovating vs building new for the Aud. Maybe the old Stabler or the Value Village mall would be a great compromise if a new facility is required but I imagine this would have to move to land already owned by the city or region.
Bonus idea that just came to me. The Rangers can play in Victoria Square Garden and they can build an arena on top of the future transit hub.
Indeed, this really is the key part. We don't even necessarily need the WHOLE property for that, but what *IS* needed is a vision plan from our government for the WHOLE area. They should be looking at the parking lots around especially to the north of the terminal.
The fact that they aren't doing this already is highly concerning.
If the property is a regional property though, that would explain it, the region council doesn't seem to understand that there are urban areas in the region.
