The River Run townhouse complex in Eau Claire stands in the way of the Green Line LRT project. (Bryan Labby/CBC - image credit)The River Run townhouse complex in Eau Claire is not even 30 years old, but it will soon be demolished to make way for a new underground LRT station as part of the multibillion-dollar Green Line project. The city officially filed its intention to expropriate 23 units in the four building complex that is adjacent to the fading Eau Claire Market and the Bow River. The city says the Eau Claire station will be "designed in a way to allow private development to occur above the station in the future." Tynan says negotiations with property owners started about three years ago.
