Columbia, Bull Street developer to OK delay in construction of city-funded garage http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article90369687.html

What's your thoughts on this guys. Columbia and Richland County fusing together. http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article90107087.html

Heres the Concept routes here

I think since it may be decades until we get a light rail transit or Commuter rail. i would the city to invest into brining Rail Trolleys back into the city. maybe if they work something out with CSX and Southern Norfolk maybe we could get a few Trolley lines running through downtown and into important dense areas. like a trolley running around the Rail loop that surrounds the city and maybe one out to Harbison. part of it would run on the existing tracks and other parts would run the streets. I like your Idea you're not far off on that.

3 building in downtown are getting renovated http://www.thestate.com/news/business/article89622857.html

here's some renderings of Bullstreet http://www.wistv.com/slideshow?widgetid=159899&clienttype=generic

Yes finally. i like this design a little better then the old one. i hope it gets approve quickly so they can start construction Asap. yeah I'm trying to figure out that one also.

We got an Announcement today that wasn't really a surprise considering we saw the renderings already COBB Theater was announced slated to open summer of 2018 Luxury" movie theater announced for The Commons at BullStreet project, http://www.wistv.com/story/32435208/luxury-movie-theater-announced-for-the-commons-at-bullstreet-project

oh that's it lol we knew about this since October.

Since there isn't much news going on in downtown at the moment I thought we could imagine some things for a bit. Could we possibly see maybe in the near future some Mid Rises or even 1 high rise Apartment of Condo pop up on the North Main St side soon or within the next 5 years. My thoughts is that we may see 1 or 2 pop up just before you get to the RR crossing in that empty field or across the street where the old factory is at. that would be a cool sight and i can imagine the view from there high up.

So I saw someone on City Data saying New Apartments were announced in downtown recently. I'm confused because I haven't heard anything in the past week. The only thing i see was the Landmark Bank Apartments thats it. I wonder if anyone knows about this new "Announcement" of new apartments coming downtown.

I went to my second Game On the 4th and wow wow so many people was out there 9,228 people. which is way over compacity of the Seats. this was on WIS and Mayor Benjamin also talked about developement it looks like we will see dirt move in Late Fall http://m.wistv.com/wistv/db_330790/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=DhNE2sRX

So Apparently Thirteen21 Lady is Under Construction and im finding Pricing online startingvat around $750 a month for a Studio.

What will city do with duplexes it bought near Five Points? http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article87225687.html

Yeah.

Park7 Group construction is still getting reviewed about the design same with the The High rise next to the library. Kline is on its final review with the city before construction starts. Bull Street he didn't give me any info other the that everything is still on schedule.

I havr Insider Information also and I should have my insider reply to me either Today or Tommorow and we will have our answer ok.

New Development and improvement update for Olympia Mills Village. Plan for Olympia moving forward http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article86787142.html

I'm trying to figure out what happened? things we're looking good for Columbia then 2016 came in and poof

people forget economy changes daily. something could of came up or for liability reasons the city cant announce the developers and businesses yet.

Agreed. but ive heard people saying before that land where the Postal building is at would great for a developer or an Apartment or mixed used. i think They need to find a developer to fuse a great development and the park together.

http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article86300422.html looking like some new garage talk has come up.

So i heard that The announcements We're pushed back for another 24 months. can anyone confirm that? Benjamin said They would bee announcements this month. but this month is almost over.

Ok back to my crazy ideas. BRT what's your thoughts on it and wouldn't it be cheaper for it to build a BRT system over a Rail system.

You can't convince someone like me whos a car guy. I refuse to give up my car to wait For a train or bus. I'm all For public mass transit but 2 problems with your plan. 1. Rail transit unfortunately ain't gonna happen iin Columbia in about another 15-20 years 2. Living downtown ain't cheap. Getting frustrated will just get people to leave. More people would rather have a flowing free way then to wait For Columbia to figure out what they should do next. So your idea is old school and invalid. Because it's bad in one city doesn't mean it won't work in another. Also these high ways were built in the 60s and 70s. Now with modern day planning it could work perfectly.
