I know this has come up before, but after searching past posts I couldn't find the answer.
Can someone remind me what the future holds for Charles Street Terminal? Or has it been decided yet?
I was thinking the other day that as more and more residents move downtown demand will grow for recreation facilities (indoor pool, track, cardio, weights, courts, gym, etc.) and that parcel would make a great site for such a facility; especially since it is already government owned (although I guess it is a regional facility and recreation is a city responsibility). Perhaps merging/moving the Downtown Community Centre to the site too.
The closest large indoor multi-purpose facility to downtown Kitchener is probably the Waterloo Recreation Complex. Something like a more vertical version of Edmonton's Kinsmen Centre would be awesome, perhaps with a daycare, and or long term care aging facility integrated in to it, and a residential tower on top.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
