I used to work in the OTC (dirty ice cube) downtown. After the city moved in it seemed like it was infested with zombies.  Grin

TW FB post about Blake Ewing:

Quote
A city councilor has proposed extending a temporary ban on demolishing downtown buildings for surface parking lots until the council can consider permanent restrictions in the zoning code.

Go Blake.

Not sure.  The Lorton's might claim it won't be surface parking.

If the Lorton's would replace it with a 2-3 story building with ground level retail, I'd be... well.. less angry.

Ground parking needs to be banned from anywhere in the IDL.

At a minimum we need codes to enforce what surface parking should look like inside the IDL.
Demarcation from the street
Screening/Landscaping/sidewalk maintenance.
Lighting/signage
Curb cuts, entrances/exits

That kind of thinking will kill ground floor retail.

And the downtown assessment should at least equal that of the prior use.

How So?  I would think just the opposite.

Agreed. In an environment like downtown people on feet are much more likely to stop in than people on motors are.

So, you don't want any curbside parking in front of or at least across the street from your retail spot?

I believe they were referring to ground level parking lots.  (American Parking et al.)
