Thanks Kennadog. There's also the issue of moving the tracks towards the historic buildings so that they can fit the arena in. I'm wondering how long that will take. Is there any chance that they can do all this stuff simultaneously and break ground as early as this August or is that just impossible at this point?
In my earlier post I talked about usual "snail pace" of such projects (or almost any building project) in Calif. I was at railyards over the summer (about 8 mos ago) and they were "working" on the tracks. I'm not sure exactly what all those hardhats were doing but they looked "busy" or wanted everyone to think they were hard at work. The current gigantic infill project to ultimately result in new arena cannot really be underway fully until city council approves the "deal", all contracts are signed, final project design is submitted and approved, all permits (enviornmental impact reports) statisfied, and then proverbial first shovel is in the ground. I heard that the plan is for spring 2013 to be that first shovel and that is why I made my earlier prediction on (hoped for) time frame.
