I thought it had been remediated previously. IIRC the underground utilities in the area were all encased in concrete to reduce the risk of contamination, and this delayed the LRT construction, but the utilities were encased in concrete when the area was remediated.
I doubt...even in the 80s, the site would have been able to have been occupied like that when contaminated.
I am probably wrong, but I vaguely seem to recall back in the mid 80's when this thing was proposed and built that there were some issue, but they were sort of swept the issues under the rug because of the build type - not residential, and heavy vehicles spewing fumes and noxious liquids for 19 hours a day.
