I noticed that too. I don’t understand it other than cost saving. The garage at Central and Elder was done quite nicely so why not just do another? Just seems like a waste of prime space. Maybe they’ll build on it later on.

I mean, kind of? We’re definitely not cognizant enough to realize it yet but at least things are changing somewhat.

Yet more dark money fuckery. All these people pushing it can get bent. Who wants to bet Berding has a hand in it?

She also acknowledged that Martin Luther King Drive itself is unattractive, spanning seven lanes and traffic-choked at rush hour with auto-oriented businesses and parking lots fronting the road between UC and the medical institutions’ campuses and Interstate 71.

“Clearly, in addition to adding amenities to MLK, we have to improve access. There are challenges that weren’t fully recognized about widening Martin Luther King Drive at the same time you were trying to build a sense of place (there),” Brunner said. “What we’re trying to build out here is a place where there isn’t vacant land. There aren’t parking lots. There are people walking. There are a wide range of uses. A mixed-income, high-potential-for success engine that has both the opportunity for people to improve their lives and the placemaking that draws people to experience all of the different assets that exist.”

Well no, a lot of us at the time were saying that is way too many lanes. We KNEW it would be a cluster and given how terrible the bike lane through there is let alone any sense of pedestrian walkability it was about the most expected thing about the project.

Let’s call it Cranley’s 80+ million dollar boondoggle that could’ve been better spent on transit and other methods of getting around.

Last game not so hot but they can’t all be winners. Hopefully a little better on the away leg at Tigres.

Madtree Bonanza is returning. I do not recall what year anniversary this is for them now.

I think Goodfella’s might be a good bet across the street.

Echoing other comments- that was a great start to the season. Let’s go FCC

I mean, is anyone surprised? You let nazi fucks “protest” (ie. intimidate) without issue then sure, the people of the neighborhood are gonna rise up to protect themselves.

It doesn’t make them right but it also isn’t surprising in the least.

Not sure why you’re downvoted. Has the populace woken up yet to what’s going on? Maybe the protests will help that but yeah, would’ve been easier if people would’ve just voted for none of this shit.

Would of course be awful but I pray we’re not dumb enough to even let him get close.

This is actually a very good article that discusses the overall development pattern of OTR and how this stretch is finally getting the attention it deserves.
