^Agree Completely

But what do you know? How long have you been studying urban issues? Can someone create a poll question about this? We can't just let residents have whatever they like without a more comprehensive study I'm not saying I know anything about urban planning but I'm sure there are people on UO and 3CDC that do... I'm just adding my two sense into the conversation. Two sense -> Bright lights seem to reduce loitering and sketchiness in general (as compared to other areas of OTR). That can't be a bad thing, right?

I agree that the lights are bright... being there is one right outside my kitchen window, but I believe they serve a more important purpose than blinding me. I say keep the lighting level where it is as I've already gotten used to it.

Does anybody know when the Senate is going to open? It was supposed to be Fall 09 which is quickly coming to a close.

Does anybody know the status of the Senate? Are they still looking to open in September? Also, the empty space next to it in the Q? Just curious.

Hey folks, thought this was a perfect time to chime in. Got this today about the streetscaping: Phase 1 is beginning today on the east side of Vine between 12th & 13th streets. We will also be starting up in the 1300 block on May 4th. Each of these blocks will take roughly 7-8 weeks. We’ll then move to Central & Vine starting in mid-June to do the west side of Vine between Central & 12th. The last section to be completed will be the west side of Vine between 12th & 13th which will begin in early July. Each section will take roughly 8 weeks.
