That and getting rid of the Sec 8 apartments along Jackson.
That's unlikely, as they're spending millions, adding awnings and dormers to make them look nicer. |

Hmm...Bell's?  The Mid-Con Plant is the key to redevelopment of the west bank. That and getting rid of the Sec 8 apartments along Jackson. Not even close. |

It will surface soon enough, and by that time it may be a viable project.

Those aren't as bad as the ones south of 23rd that aren't getting a facelift. |

I think both are accurate. Actually if you could combine the concrete plant (I remember when it was McMichael) with the park and floating ampitheater you could develop something nice, but then again with the area just west being what it is would present a problem. I'm not condemming the whole area, just the fact that there are parts that might make it less inviting. |

I'm not condemming the whole area, just the fact that there are parts that might make it less inviting. Exactly why just a huge riverside park stretching from 23rd north to the Westport apartments with a larger amphitheater/events center in the middle by the "cove" would be a good fit. Focus new apartment/townhome development on the other side of the river. Something like Zilker Park in Austin would be perfect:  with open space for concerts/athletics and maybe a sculpture park like Olympic Park in Seattle:  I drove by today and they are definitely getting started...great to see. |

Took a peek at the location on my run today. About a half dozen concrete footings/pads are complete. Coming along...

Any idea what's going on just north of the playground, about a block north of where the blue rose will be? They've marked off a big grassy area with construction fencing.

I think it was planned as more parking.

The "Progress as Promised" sign in the construction area north of the playground says "17th Street Bathroom", maybe to replace the ones by Elwood's?
