The demolition of Edmonton's Coliseum, which has been closed since 2017, will not begin for at least two more years due to the extensive planning and hazardous material removal required. The City has allocated $35 million for demolition, in addition to the $9 million spent on maintaining the building. The Coliseum, once home to the Edmonton Oilers, will be replaced by a mixed-use urban village as part of long-term plans for the area. The new development is expected to take 25-30 years to complete.
