I have been wondering what the fate of that place is going to be. The track/casino/stables are for sure tear downs. The old Coliseum has also got to be in thoughts of a teardown but talking to a demolition guy it’d take months to take that place down properly.
My bet is they make the old horse race track into a park, they tear down the casino and stables and make that into a storage area for K-Days. The existing storage areas adjacent to the LRT track will be leveled and sold to developers for transit oriented housing, maybe some of it is for low income individuals. They then reopen the 115 avenue LRT crossing (hence why it was never fully removed in the first place).
No idea what they’re going to do with the Coliseum though. It would be cool if someone could figure out some kind of community centre that could work there. Or gift it to a non-profit. It’s LRT proximity does make it a good location for some kind of low income benefit.
