That promised great shopping alternatives if we where just willing to tear down the old store fronts. Similarly this development wants to tear down the store fronts that the West Broadway Alive calls out as historically significant and the chief asset of this section of Broadway. All the supported for commented how much this section of Broadway needs decent shopping along with its need for something other than low income rental that is already in the works for Broadway.<br />Mr Baylor commented that the West Broadway Alive plan was 10-12 years old and had not produced anything so it should be scrapped. For the record the city council adopted it in March of 2006 and we have suffered under a significant resesion since. After two years of planning work that the city and residents of North Minneapolis put into the West Broadway alive plan is 8 years enough to abandon it and tear down what it identified as Broadway's Most significant asset? If that happens will any planning effort by Minneapolis ever be worthwhile?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823358600141828437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-11960750666448727962014-03-22T16:59:20.261-05:002014-03-22T16:59:20.261-05:00Tear down all of Hawthorn (sic) Crossings and put ...Tear down all of Hawthorn (sic) Crossings and put the damn thing THERE.
