Good news: that proposed building to replace a gas station (and strip mall?) on Western next to the 606 and just a few blocks south of the Western Blue Line stop scored a new construction permit yesterday. Actually the permit is for the entire building. 6 stories, 109 units, 42 parking spaces, and ground floor commercial/retail.

This is the 2nd building in the last week or so that's been issued a permit for that block of sizable projects. Considering what both are replacing (one mostly a used car lot and the other a gas station and maybe strip mall), that part of Western is about to get a bit better from a ground floor perspective.
