The food cart pod on Scott St looks better than expected, though I do worry this will hurt the one on the south end. Milwaukie isn't that big, but this could definitely help the activity on the north end of downtown.
Also to add to this, Coho Point on the south end of downtown across from the Axeltree Apartments is beginning site work. I don't know when demolition of the existing building will happen, but I would guess sometime this year, probably this summer. I know I did hear from the mayor that construction of the new building could begin as early as this fall.
Also, the Main Street Collectors buildings are for sale and in the listing it sounded like the focus was that they would be torn down and used as a redevelopment site for something larger. I wouldn't be surprised if those building aren't in the best shape and probably aren't that profitable in their present form.

The Seven Acres (234 units), Murphy site (275 units), and adjacent
Hillside Park Redevelopment (400 net new units) are going to have a big impact on bringing this corner of Milwaukie to life. I'm hoping we see spill over of the recent success at Milwaukie Market Place and into downtown, which is a mile walk from all of these locations.
Agreed that the food cart pod on Scott St looks better than expected! I also don't see how it pencils out with the one we have today already having a low demand.
I'm tied in on the Collectors Mall and there is no plan for tear down today. Current plan is to find tenants to lease out the empty store fronts.
The Golden Nugget, Libby's, and the adjourning bar were just listed for sale recently as well. Will be interesting to see if a buyer comes along for those with a different model. I've always wondered how the Golden Nugget stays open with the hours they have, but it must be the video poker revenue.
