[QUOTE="567Chevy, post: 57240, member: 1809"] Just to clarify a bit, part of the north end of the track was needed for the ring road, but the City wanted the rest of the site for waste management as it is adjacent to the SE dump. I think people in the racing community suggested turns 9 through the key hole could be reconfigured to provide for the ring road, but in the end the City decided they wanted the whole site for the dump (and the sliver for the ring road). Why they couldn't integrate the race track and the dump, or work around the race track for another decade or whatever, I don't know and I don't recall city council ever discussing it in public. Certainly the City's administration during council hearings seemed adamant the dump needed the land without any creative ideas to accommodate both. Calgary's city council seemed more interested in getting the track out of the way than exploring alternatives for the recreation of Calgary's large motorsports community. The only one who seemed to care was McIver who was running for mayor at the time, and when Nenshi became mayor the track issue seemed to die. [/QUOTE]
