City council passed a motion Wednesday that will allow anyone interested in the land at 220 Carlton St. to submit development plans.

Councillors on the city's Executive Policy Committee voted to demand CentreVenture invite other bidders to develop the land at the centre of a deal Mayor Brian Bowman described last week as "not cool."

Centre Venture, an arms-length development agency, currently has six-months left to find a developer before tendering is open to the public but Mayor Bowman doesn't want to wait.
