Yeah, the arguments for a new one are pretty valid - the old one was built in 1955 when the city was a quarter the size and it requires $70m in upgrades just to be usable for another 20-30 years. It's also very inaccessible if you don't have a car.
A new one would cost ~$160-200m, last 60-80 years, be located in their downtown (accessible) and have room to have all staff under 1 roof. Seems like a no brainer but the city did such a horrible job of engaging the public on it (Burnaby seems to have a pathetic PR/Marketing team or just idiots on city council)
