to my knowledge... they are certainly @ the rendering stage. of course, it's still early and things will change...

it would seem to me you could parcel some of the cap (especially over the highway embankments) for private development - and the space between, could be utilized for park/public usuage. that's actually the impression i got from what is being reported? maybe i'm reading wrong? while i do feel the city has inproportionately focused resources on this part of town (hey, eastside is over here!) - i'm all for the cap. connectivity, creates more tax base, possible public usuage and helps correct (a tiny bit) the problems of 2-77's conception. for those of you who have been advocating for the removal of 2-77... this is good as it will get - @ least in the foreseeable future. it might be an expensive compromise - but, i think in the long run - it will serve the city very well.

i agree it could be nicer... i'll find out some info on what they plan, if anything, to do on the outside. these guys aren't millionaires and i know that they put all their energy into getting the inside ready to open up shop. the owners are local midwoodians and are fervent about the hood. it's people like this who make plaza midwood the success it is and will be. same with zada jane... those guys just don't have the resources to do it over night, but, i feel like the wait will be worth it. i think in both cases - form will take some time following function. i plan on going to snug - tonight.

i thought the same thing... judging from his writing - i'd say, no, he doesn't have more insider knowledge.

good. we need more pro-transit talking points... unfortunately, thats what most people base their opinion from - consise, tid-bits of information and mis-information. it's alarming @ how mis-informed we are, overall. there are so many things to blame for this, and in this case - the media has done more harm than good, @ providing the facts. the price of independence blvd is an incredible price for something that will only enhance our problems in the long run.

redundant ( on so many levels )

man, you ain't kidding... i quit trying to save for a free ticket a long time ago - i haven't had to buy a magazine since.
