Children's site is something like 190m x 220 m |
We popped this into the blender that is Chimples' the superintelligent Chimps' superintelligence chip and got this.
Advantages
Great location near Atwater metro, west side of town.
-Demolishing the building and selling the land would answer nagging questions concerning what should be done with the old decommissioned building.
-Purchasing the land might be considerably easier than at other sites considering that much of it already belongs to government.
-It would rejuvenate a part of town that has become increasingly rough since the departure of the Canadiens from the Old Forum.
Disadvantages
Bridge & Wellington |
-Cabot Square would be lost, as would a couple of buildings on Closse south of St. Cat.
-There would be no parking anywhere.
-Hospital officials will undoubtedly argue that they still need to use part of the building for some thing or another and some neighbours might object.
In comparison, the land near Wellington and Bridge has a major size advantage, even though it's far from public transit and might be hampered by heavy traffic trying to get to the Victoria Bridge.
