They can always place an elevator under the Demonbreun St bridge. They can have an ap so the desired can punch in a code or pay a toll when they want to use it. Much like any other gated community.<br />sixbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15732869014839891023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-73076336053239443912014-05-08T17:12:52.187-05:002014-05-08T17:12:52.187-05:00If the Gulchites are so gung-ho on being pedestria...If the Gulchites are so gung-ho on being pedestrians then they can walk an extra block to use the Demonbreun St bridge-a perfectly fine foot ,bike and car bridge.

I suppose the group(s?) in-between those two share the same traits. So, while we can try to attract Millenials, it is not so different than attracting Others. <br /><br />The bridge is a nice project. Unfortunately, it is a costly, fancier version, serving far fewer current residents, of a basic government maintenance function (sidewalks in neighborhoods). Individuals can too easily compare the lack of walkability outside their homes to this bridge. With the Sounds stadium, individuals don't really have that personal comparison - this feeds into the lack of pushback on the financial committment to the ballpark. Similarly with the Amp - those with a more personal understanding (community members who their areas underserved, or those who live along the line) will have stronger opinions.<br /><br />Personally, I think the hotel inquiry probably came after the bridge suggestion. Stuff is just getting built down there, either because of re-zoning, easy money, or whatever. The bridge is typical monumental edifice desired by politicians and city planners; no need for a target audience expect a legacy.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-10613668687996858082014-05-07T21:49:30.365-05:002014-05-07T21:49:30.365-05:00CM Gilmore has failed to be transparent on multipl...CM Gilmore has failed to be transparent on multiple occasions. It seems that she does not mind representing the mayor and developers while ignoring her constituents. She has no trouble blowing off the constituents in other districts, threatening to refuse to support other council members if they will not support her. This sounds like the same strategy that the mayor uses. Vote his way or expect no services in your district. Public servants they are not. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
