The sidewalk barricades (on both Walnut and 11th Street) were recently removed here, and all contractor and construction signage is gone from the fencing.

Hoping it's not a sign of even more prolonged stagnation at this lot.

Oh boy. Another hole in the ground we’ll be stuck with for years where buildings once stood? Fantastic.

And as usual they took 2 beautiful and historic buildings with them. This city is such a joke sometimes. I don't know how to prevent it besides a vacant land / surface parking tax?

As a general matter, I totally agree. However, the loss of this Wendy's doesn't really bother me. Definitely sucks to have a hole there but at least now something has to replace it. Hopefully the delay means that it doesn't get value engineer to death in a high rate lending environment.

I would argue that the Wendy's is better than a dirt hole. But when you add the demo of two handsome buildings that had active businesses in them, it's a disgrace.

I don't think the proposal could get anymore value engineered...

Who owns this plot?
