@KyleBlanchett There will certainly be options for them, Edmonton still has no shortage of open pavement to choose from. The Davies Station Park & Ride might even end up being big enough.

Here's a thought -- close Alberta Avenue west of the current fairgrounds and make it a street fair.
EDC Formal coming up on September 17:
FORMAL PRESENTATIONS (Open to the Public)

Another ill-conceived City Planning effort -- rule by popular consensus -- no imagination!
C.1 Exhibition Lands (City Project)
Michellle Ouellette - City of Edmonton
MOTION: D. Brown
Motion of Support with Conditions
As the project proceeds, the Committee recommends the following be considered:
● As the fine-grained road network described in the presentation was not apparent in
package, ensure the development of clear policy direction to achieve this intention.
● Converting 118 Avenue at Coliseum Station to an at-grade crossing to improve the
urban design condition and reinforce a connected and cohesive development.
● In line with the guiding principles, more clearly articulate the essence, character and
general vision of this development and how it is visually communicated in the
planning framework (eg. through typical sections, typologies, precedent images, etc).
● Explore the opportunity for north-south open space connectivity between Borden
Park and the North Transit Village.
SECONDED: T. Antoniuk
CARRIED
FOR THE MOTION: W. Sims, A. Zepp, T. Antoniuk, D. Deshpande, S. Kaznacheeva, D.

The Expo Center will have minimum renovation project this coming year as most $ are directed to the Edmonton Convention Center solar panel project.
The Expo Center will get more funding 2021-2023

Edmonton Exhibition Lands | City of Edmonton
At 200 acres, Exhibition Lands is the City’s second-largest urban infill site. Its premier location close to downtown, LRT and transit, the river valley, a vibrant park area and green space amenities make this a prime opportunity for Edmonton.

This might be the worst vision I have ever seen for a brownfield redevelopment. It is the kind of result one would expect from 6 chefs trying to make one dessert. Godlike-image help us if this proceeds to the next step!

yes, because we don’t have a better use for 25 million dollars at the moment than to spend it on demolishing an existing building to create an empty piece of land worth maybe one tenth of that amount. because we don’t have the imagination or the will to figure out a use for some 400,000 sf of space at the moment or in the future. this is just sooo wrong...Coliseum demolition pegged for the 'short term' as part of Northlands site redevelopment into transit villages

By the time this is done, we will be thinking about plans of what to do with the piece of land where Rogers Place is!

Wouldn't the renovation cost to repurpose it to something other than an arena be much, much more than $25 million? That would only be feasible if a developer approached the City to purchase it and bear all of the reno costs.
