A little off topic, but...

Also, I don't buy the access issue for WH. Copps houses 18,000 people with no problem. WH is very close to the 403, close to Burlington st, and the high volume roads of Cannon, York, King and Main.

People park on lawns at IWS. Downtown has no parking issues.

I don't think West Harbour was inaccessible; and we would have adapted. I simply think the Ivor Wynne site has a bit better access, in 4 directions along many of the same roads you noted. Both would have been much better than Confederation or East Mountain in that regard - being close to a major highway is a plus for "visibility", but when your access roads/ramps have few lanes, getting in and out is a debilitating migraine.

Parking has never been an issue for me attending games at IWS, and I've never parked on somebody's driveway or lawn. Same would have likely held true in the WH.

I just think the opportunity is there in Ward 3 just as it is in Ward 2. If the city plays its cards right, we can experience renewal in both.
