After more than a decade sitting vacant, the vision for a new development around CF Polo Park has been unveiled, featuring park and retail spaces, bike paths along with thousands of apartments.
A newly unveiled plan envisions high-rise apartment buildings with six to 12 storeys each replacing the surface parking lots covering much of the area around Polo Park shopping centre, including the site of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' former stadium.
Documents were shredded, property values were altered and a city worker was pressured into claiming different parcels of land were equal in value, an initial RCMP investigation into the construction of four fire-paramedic stations and a series of city real estate transactions found.
The City of Winnipeg has won a legal skirmish as part of a larger, decade-long battle over the price it must pay for the land beneath a South River Heights fire-paramedic station.
