Jeff Jack and his merry band probably did them a favor by fighting it, made them look better in the public's eye. They probably never had any intention of letting the trail ever go thru there anyway unless they could get a super sweet deal.
I haven't been following CWS since the debacle unravelled; but the last thing I could find where I wrote about it included this quote:

Quote:
If the variance request remains denied, CWS plans to build two highrises -- one 200 feet, the other 120 feet -- and redevelop dozens of apartments that sit as close as 20 feet from the lake shore to sell them as townhomes. Those apartments pre-date the 200-foot rule.
so what you're seeing doesn't fit at all with CWS changing their plans; they always said they'd redevelop many of the older buildings on their existing footprints if the Save Town Lake idiots held fast.
