I've made my point on this forum and even wrote some letters to the city council. This super-block needs to be broken up as part of any proposed redevelopment. "O street" in particular still has large trees lining where the side walk used to be. I think adding some narrow, but real streets to area to reconnect the grid would be a great thing.
That said, there is an almost entirely vacant block (owned by the state I believe) one block east. We should be developing dead blocks like these before we start knocking out existing housing. Let's get 5 or more 100 unit plus developments going in Downtown first and then I can support something the proposed redevelopment.
