Peterborough Arena proposal
#1
A team hire by the city of Peterborough has proposed a design for the OHL team arena complex, complete with conference centre, hotel, and condo tower, on a soon to be vacated public works lot downtown. They also want to incorporate a few adjacent properties to allow for more development, parkland, and a connection to the old railway station for proposed Toronto-Quebec City rail service via the city. Among the design features is a re-daylighting of the creek that runs through downtown; most of its path is currently is covered.

A couple problems emerged when I showed this to a coworker. 1) He questioned whether the development could even go ahead with the water so close; I can imagine there would be flood plain issues. 2) The rail service they hope to have bisect the property is far from guaranteed; to have Toronto-Quebec trains they would have to relay the track between Havelock and Smith's Falls; that won't be cheap.
