There are likely a few for security purposes already.

Great question, I can't think of anything that was previously on this site that would really contaminate, so it must be all fill? The 2 things I can guess off the top of my head that would pollute are parking lots and roads (oil and fluids from cars as well as asphalt), not sure what would come from 100+ year old houses that would be a danger.

Back in the day whenever a man made lake was built, they would dump the soil near the lake and build a hill, like with Bonavista, Midnapore, Sundance, etc.. It doesn't appear they've done that with Mahogany or Auburn Bay, maybe the policy has changed?

From what I've read the top few meters of soil contain leftovers from foundations of the houses that used to be on the site, but it didn't mention what those leftovers might contain to warrant them being hazardous. A heritage review of the site done prior to the 2021 cancelled dig also found nothing worth excavating.

The parkade doesn't reach the event level in depth, so there will have to be shoring between it and the rest at that depth.

This actually surprised me, why they wouldn't go down the extra story

There are 50 underground stalls in total which are all listed as player parking, and they have an overhead door to close off the underground section from the rest of the parkade, so it's essentially private parking. It's likely that they simply didn't need extra parking underground, and it's cheaper not going that deep.

There isn’t any underground parking for visitors?

Who’s going to pay for the $100,000 capital cost?

No shortage of parking for community arena users. Just might have to walk.
