There has to be a reason why it takes roughly the same timeframe to build a plaza in this city as it does a $900 million hockey arena.... right?

If only they had trees this size lining the plaza. In 20 years, if they survive.
Eau Claire Plaza opens in July with new performance, festival space and misting fog
Calgary is officially unveiling the reimagined Eau Claire Plaza on July 2 after months of constructioncalgaryherald.com
It was weird they started this before they had the budget, that's why it took so long. Probably a good idea to just wait until you have the full budget before going forward. It would be weird to start almost any other project with only a partial budget, imagine seeing a partially finished fieldhouse.

No splash pad/ wading pool? Big failure in my mind. That is the type of thing to bring down more families and children. I’ll have to ride down there and check it out in person, but from pictures it seems underwhelming and disappointing.

What is going there?
The splash pool was usually the busiest part of the plaza.

No better place to pickup some nail fungus. But I heard there's treatment for that.

So we’re now calling this Eau Coli Plaza?
Over the years of having the splash pool were there cases of e-coli or nail fungus? Just asking, as it was always popular in the summer. My kids used it a fair bit when they were younger.

Lazy contractors who like to drag out their contract mixed with people at the city managing things they don't understand.

Splash pools in general have had many outbreaks. Kids in diapers sitting on jets of water.

In the heat of summer, many parents take their children to splash pools or splash pads and other recreational water…
