  1. Orlando No. 1 again for pedestrian deaths

    People complain when you reduce traffic lane to put in a bike lane, people complain when you dont build parking for the arena, people complain building is too big when you increase density, they rather spend billions on highway than trains.....this is Orlando....

     

     

  2. Renovations slated for 105-year-old downtown Orlando building; nightclub to shutter

    "One of downtown's oldest buildings is about to receive a facelift and a new, nationally focused tenant lineup.

    Orlando-based local internet marketing company Launch That LLC is planning a ground-floor renovation of the 105-year-old One South Orange building, which it owns through related entity One South Orange Development LLC. Construction on the 6,500 square feet of space, which includes storefronts on Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard, will start in 2019 and tenants are expected to move in late next year or early 2020."

    The residents in Ivanhoe Village complained that it was too tall and "not fitting in with the neighborhood" - basically NIMBY'd it to make it shorter.  The developers were trying to make it taller, and apply for a variance for more density by making it mixed-use and some office retail. 

    Bungalower reported a couple of times on the approval process and the neighborhood fighting the proposed project last year:

    "Eight people spoke against the project at the board meeting, including Gordon Spears and Michael Rizzo of the Lake Formosa Neighborhood Association, and College Park residents as well. A Change.org petition had collected 310 signatures at the time of this post."

    "Orlando resident Tom Young submitted a letter to the City, in regards to his opposition to the plan."

    Ironic that they use change.org when they are the one that resist changes. If they don't want highrises, why live so close to the city center?
