Im talking about the development between Chester and Payne, where the parking lots are. Is it really that far?

If you turn the Lakeshore drive pic 180 degrees backwards you see......A traffic light and an intersection

Help me with the geography....how many blocks away would the new CSU development be from the lakeside industrial buildings?

There is a plan to use freed up land for developments. Pictures are in this article from gcbl http://www.gcbl.org/blog/marc-lefkowitz/citizens-guide-removing-highway

And Lake Shore Drive near Grant Park has traffic lights and intersections

^The area around the entrance and exit ramps

Lets get back on topic

Anyone know what is the overall cost of the station? It wasn't in the article

^I know it wasn't practical, and probably a fire hazard, but I wish they kept the wooden escalators

A lot of the developments in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood went in with the assumption that the boulevard would be constructed. For instance, I know that Stone Mad set up shop on W. 65th because that would be one of the connector streets to the boulevard.

X, If I ever achieve my dream of opening a bar can I use The View/Lust/Moda/Spy Bar name? I would probably open it Cleveland's Warehouse district, just to keep this thread on topic

The old saying is "a fool and their money are soon parted" so retail tends to do well near casinos.

I actually have sympathy for this view. Doing it not quite halfway, and then leaving it, is a worse option, in my opinion, than doing nothing. Now, if it was a step in a long range plan (with milestones and agreements from ODOT) then fine. What I want is the original version that ODOT grudingly agreed to under Mayor Campbell.

^That is good to hear, every mistake is an opportunity for future improvement

70-80 units, how many floors?

^If it is the casino, more power to 'em. It will help out The Avenue mall as well

It is the same route/highway as Clifton Blvd in Lakewood. If the people of Westlake and Peoria insisted on changing Clifton into a highway, shouldn't Lakewood have a say? All this project would do would extend Clifton through the entire westside, not just Edgewater/ Lakewood

Check out the urban farms and vinyards.

Don't skip over Detroit Shoreway/Gordon Square. Your class can weigh in on the conversion of the West Shoreway to West Lakeshore Blvd controversy.

I looked at the whole presentation, and I liked what I saw. The parking is in the back, and the storefront is up to the street. Its also right next to a Metra stop, so the parking lot can double as a "kiss and ride" Ravenswood is pretty densely populated, so there will be plenty of walk up business. But, to each thier own. I would kill for a shopping center designed like that in my neighborhood in New Orleans.

The lawn is temporary, so probably there

By converting the freeway into a boulevard you can recapture a great deal of prime lakefront real estate for development, where now you only have buffer zones for exit ramps.

How did the meeting go?

^What about traffic, I have nearly been killed driving into that BP over the years For the record. I <3 this thread. Best reporting since the Sun Journal
