Wow, if there ever was a need for a PM session, that was it. Thanks for the enlightening discussion, however.

CalSTRS...more under highrises

Thanks for the pics, sacto.

Township 9 looks great, and since scenario B is denser with the offices, I'll have to say that it's my favorite.

Also, when the city was thinking about putting a bridge over the American to Natomas, which street were they thinking about extending? I like the idea of the pavilion, but 7th st seems like the natural choice since it goes all the way into downtown.

I agree!

Common guys, you can start your own thread about pick-ups at the
10th street levee or whatever you wanna call it.

downtownserg89, I think myspace is more suitable for you or
even the skybar since your being a kid and all

Seriously, it was already brought to PM. Did you really have to beat a dead horse? Where was your comment when there was almost 2 pages of Rosemont talk. There's not even any developments in Rosemont. But, there's going to be a development where that cruise park is and so we're discussing it. Imagine that...discussion on a skyscraper forum regarding development and the location of a development! It's shocking isn't it!?

CalPERS sunset. Snapped this with my blackberry 8100 when I was leaving work. Enjoy!

sugit · #**190** Posted **Mar 8, 2007, 11:30 PM**

You guys are getting so many cool sunset shots these days. Awesome!

Maybe your right neuhickman… I guess a discussion on cruise park and
picking up ‘dates’ is relevant to development

and your getting pissed at me
cause I’m calling you guys on it. As for your Rosemont banter, I must have
been away from my computer and interacting with the real world.
Remember, you’re the one who finds himself in the middle of all these
irrelevant discussions that go on and on and on…

When I go visit other forums on the site, nothing turns me off more from
reading about what’s going on there than a stupid discussion about
non-relevant issues. When I found this site, I could not believe all the good info
and insite people would bring to the forum… and when the conversation
went off course, someone would speak up.

Well, I imagine you and others now consider myself a wanna-be moderator….
So for a while I’ll stop and let others say something if they want. For the most
part, I’m one of the few here that ever says anything when something
non-relevant is mucking up the forum.

You must have been looking over my shoulder innov8. I was thinking the same thing. I love your enthusiasm downtownserg89 but sometimes your posts make me think that I just sat down in front of my niece's myspace page. They make me laugh and cringe at the same time...

The reason for the location of the tracks is that it has to align with Truxel Road on the other side of American River and Sequoia Pacific Blvd is closer than N. 7th St. Also RT will be using city-owned land and an abandoned railroad spur near SPB to cut costs.

I'm not too familiar with the "colorful" past mentioned, but it seems a very industrious area. will there be any environmental clean up required before they can begin construction?

Also, what's the time-frame on that light rail station? wouldn't the tracks have to be built throught the railyards before they could reach Township 9? I would think the light rail station would be a HUGE selling point for both the residential and office portions of this project. So I'd think the developers would want RT to get there ASAP.

There is no environmental cleanup on this site like on the railyards. The worst thing dumped out there seems to be organic material from the cannery days. Not toxic, just makes for bad structural soil.

The last info I heard from RT was that the light rail station at 7th and Richards would be operational in 2014. Outrageous if you ask me. If I remember right, they apparently have the money lined up to build it, but not to operate and maintain.

Are there any more developments planned for the blocks north of this location? I checked the Wayfaring map but didn't see much. With Music Circus there and so many restaurants nearby the neighborhood seems like it could be development more.

sugit · #**196** Posted **Mar 9, 2007, 2:02 AM**

Not that I know of. There are a few empty lots around that I have to think could be built on...and an awful lot of under untilized stuff as well.

And speaking of empty stores...I walked past 800J a couple days ago and it still doesn't look like anything's close to opening on the ground floor. If nothing else I would have expected a Starbucks by now. How can you live in a Downtown loft and not have a Starbucks downstairs?

aufbau · #**198** Posted **Mar 9, 2007, 2:39 AM**

I agree Phillip, starbucks in an upscale urban condo/loft project is as essential as the concierge and stingy parking allotments.

Hopefully something will show soon. It would do wonders for that stretch of street.

look guys, i'm really into the whole skyscraper scene. yeah i may be pretty younger and, well, different than the majority of the people on this forum, but hey i can't help but to do the typical teenager thing as well!

i really like interacting with you older guys, i must admit. it's pretty new to me. however, i get the feeling my gayness isn't very appealing to others. i guess i'll have to tone it down some.

ok i'm done. let's just end it here and proceed with the skyscraper chit chat, k?
