The last time I was face-to-face with Moreno after an Active Trans event, I asked him about the status of the Milwaukee Avenue Corridor Plan (see here *PDF), and he answered by immediately talking about something else. Then I informed him that he completely evaded my question and that it would be a real shame if such a great plan that already had considerable headway was thrown away. Again, he instead answered with some other project that he was promoting... It seemed that it's as good as non-existent in his eyes, which is too bad. I attended a couple of the charrettes for the plan, and a surprising number of residents and business owners were behind the boosted densities and reestablished street wall (if only to rid the stretch of all the strip malls that the majority of the attendees considered to be offensively ugly).

I wish that plan could be reconsidered. It was pretty decent, IMO.
