If they're going to have that little bump out at the base, they might as well retain the Cassidy Tire Building. Perhaps use that building as the parking facility. It has too much history for me to want it seen torn down.

PUBLIC MEETING:

December 9th

6pm

East Bank Club

Rather bland design but about what I was expecting for this location. I'll take it even though I'll somewhat miss the Cassidy Tire building. Interested to see what Vornado does to the north.

Unfortunately it looks like the low rise is right up against the SW lot lines and the Cassidy building is quite a bit north of that.

If they use a high quality metal/glass system this will turn out nice.
They’re holding to earlier reports that all vehicle traffic will be on Clinton. Canal will be well served by this.

I know this should probably be in transportation forum but I'm going off of Harry's 800 Fulton photo. When the time comes for repair will they replace the pavers on the brick roads of Fulton market or will they they be replaced with asphalt?

That’s not to say we can’t complain about the flaws in those laws. Even CMAP has published material recognizing that aldermanic prerogative and downzoning have regressive effects on housing affordability.

The law is very clear on this. The LAW allows for zoning changes because it would be moronic to pass zoning regulations with no administrative means of adjustment. The LAW says nothing about getting the approval of the local alderman. It says that DPD/plan commission make a recommendation and the entire city council votes on it.


The issue here is that alderman have created and extralegal tradition of clout and corruption which has totally supplanted the process prescribed by law and turned it into a dog and pony show covering up the absolute power of the local alderman. Aldermanic perogative is not the LAW, it's a made up tradition that dements the LAW.

Mr. DT understands this reality, but for whatever reason continues to defend this perversion of both the letter and intent of the LAW.

Laws can be changed by those who made them.

Also the law in no way vests all zoning power for downtown in a single alderman. Perogative is a perversion of the law through vague "tradition". It has nothing to do with the letter of the law...

They can also be changed by people who did not make them.
