Does anyone know if there's a timeline/any progress on moving the bus barns? That location feels like the easiest win for the C&E district once it's available, connected to Riverwalk once it's extended down to there and a bit more removed from Stampede grounds/gameday traffic of the arena.

Because it's so removed, it's likely the least attractive for investment right now. Will take atleast 3-4 years to build a new bus barn, ect....i dont see much happening there until after the arena opens

How about that hotel that was announced by CMLC on the corner beside the casino and across from Arriva….would be nice to have that open simultaneously as the arena.

The last I can remember seeing about the hotels in the area was from when the new BMO opened where the Hotel Association said they were expecting one to be announced by the end of the summer, in this article:
BMO Centre expansion opens this morning, now largest convention space in Western Canada
Wednesday's opening of the BMO Centre expansion at Calgary's Stampede Park means the venue has roughly double the space it did before.

Maybe a bit concerning that nothing has materialized to this point on it still.

Danielle Smith ruined any chances of any hotels getting built
