RPM is a text book case of F you, I want mine. The new plan cuts the pathway, heavily used path, along the north bank of the river. It is going to kill the foot traffic that helped make 320 bar (next door) a hit.

They cold have done like the restaurant at Marina City, which co-exists nicely with the river path, but instead ripped out the stairs and put up a railing to block pedestrian traffic.
If this is the case, I'm surprised the City didn't step in and ask them to revise the plan to better fit with the general trend to amplify pedestrian access along the river.

... could the City have done anything? Or is this a matter of "private land and private enterprise can do whatever it wants?"
