Just a quick note: This block has a commercial component as a precedent. Further up, toward 15th there was a retail strip that stood from the late 1920s until the late 1980s. Notable tenants included barber shops, grocers, and an antique shop. I live on Russell very close to the project site and I welcome more active commercial corners in the neighborhood. There were never any homes on the North side of this block until the current ones were constructed, which is why we are seeing this push back to commercial here. Just my 2 cents. -DJ
