Think of it this way -- Municipal and Provincial governments hire on staff designers and aligned professionals who can't "make it" in the private world (too timid -- like job security; lack daring and ambition) and it is these people who make or support the decisions of their governmental superiors. Is it any wonder then that any bold moves by Private Enterprise are overlooked altogether. I would add this -- the last thing Edmonton needs is another park when the river valley below this site is notably 12 times larger than NYC's Central Park.
