First and foremost is the fact that the 23rd and Union development actually includes ground level retail on both union and 23rd. This hopefully will bring people out onto the corner and encourage foot traffic. Contrast this with the safeway. Its presence on 23rd is cold and dead. The safeway encourages car traffic, not foot traffic. It is really the antithesis of good urban design.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381178726351529067.post-26160024671410616342007-12-19T07:27:00.000-08:002007-12-19T07:27:00.000-08:00Honesty compels me to point out that we had the sa...Honesty compels me to point out that we had the same hopes about the Safeway building kitty-corner from Club Chocolate City / Deano's on Madison.<BR/><BR/>Didn't help. The week the Safeway opened, the dealers all moved one block away (to Denny, behind Deano's) but the next week they were right back on Madison, where they used to be. In fact the store may even have helped them: shoplifting was a very frequent issue, and we had reports of people knocking on doors offering Safeway meat for sale!<BR/><BR/>The issues on Madison went away OVERNIGHT when Club Chocolate City closed. But NO, I am NOT advocating a campaign to close Thompson's Point of View. I do NOT believe that they are part of the problem, the way that Club Chocolate City apparently was.Andrew Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781560489826494379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381178726351529067.post-35825724702430536382007-12-18T14:54:00.000-08:002007-12-18T14:54:00.000-08:00Greetings and Happy December,I am the developer of...Greetings and Happy December,<BR/><BR/>I am the developer of the proposed building at 23rd and East Union. We are in the midst of our design and permitting process. <BR/><BR/>The first part of our work is to get the contract rezone finished with the City, and to get our Master Use Permit. It is going very slowly, but we still hope to be under construction at the end of summer 2008.<BR/><BR/>We are really looking forward to being part of the neighborhood, and hope you'll support our proposal!<BR/><BR/>Questions and comments can be sent to askunion@jcmueller.com .<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>--JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381178726351529067.post-58695645293733721552007-12-18T13:27:00.000-08:002007-12-18T13:27:00.000-08:00I live close by, and I wouldn't agree that things ...I live close by, and I wouldn't agree that things have quieted down for the winter. <BR/><BR/>I am really, really looking forward to the planned construction on 23rd and Union (on the South-West corner). I hope it's presence will help the situation on that intersection.
