Unsurprising, they’re back to finish what they started nearly a decade ago.
2 months or so ago the City approved their proposal for an “interim” parking lot for up to 4 years. They will demo the basement of the former building on the SEC of Central and Madison ahead of LRT construction and pave it over. The developer is also paying for a detached sidewalk along Central, shrunk from a width of 13’ to 5’.
There probably isn’t a strong case for the St. James Hotel, but why is parking, as a primary use, being approved by the City adjacent to a future LRT corridor?
