I guess my point is that if you want to have the place be well used by ALL citizens, and you want to focus on it being a "green" development, convenient public transportation routes (preferably multiple) are a must. I'm hopeful that MetroTransit will add a route once the market is up and running days (or whatever it's meant to be) a week.

no one wants the seaport to be less isolated than me....well I'm sure there some people....but anyways... I really would like to see a lot of residential in that area....make it a community, as well as a seaport, then it will warrant public trasport....picking up a half dozen art student's at three in the morning is no way to keep public transportation sustainable and the money could be used on expanding MetroX..which I think is a very good project...
.....man like it's been said so many times before.....use the rail.... by Chris especially and by other's too
ohhhh and as i recall, originally there was supposed to be residential for artists in the seawall....so they could live right where they work.....and the way this aspect of the proposal was worded, and presented....it was like it's hole purpose of having the artist's living and working at the seawall was to provide the cruise people with a sideshow....
yah the corporation I think is frightened about the backlash from the usual suspects if any regular residential was proposed.....when the Artist residential was still on the table, they kept emphasizing how it was artist's that were going to be living there .....as if that makes it okay......why can't we have some residential for regular peeps?
