Re: Uptown Development Map and General Discussion
Lake Street from Lake Calhoun to Girard is currently undergoing a mill & overlay. Does anybody have information on this? It'd be great if they ended up adding at least a bike lane with all that ROW they have.

As far as I know the county is supposed to finish repaving now that Centerpoint has replaced pipeline. Haven't heard anything about bike lanes.Lake Street from Lake Calhoun to Girard is currently undergoing a mill & overlay. Does anybody have information on this?

Noticed some temporary street signs up on our block in the Wedge prohibiting parking from Oct. 1 to...Dec. 1! What the heck is going on that would require that?!? We didn't get anything in the mail from the city.

Have you already had the high speed fiber lines installed along your block? I know last year when they did Bryant we had temporary parking bans long the street.Noticed some temporary street signs up on our block in the Wedge prohibiting parking from Oct. 1 to...Dec. 1!

I believe it's for the dumpster for our re-siding project. Don't know why it's two months.

Also, this-
An analysis by EB Herman Companies conducted on behalf of the developer said the property would lose $7.85 million in value if the lower level of the parking garage was no longer functional.

Re: Uptown General Topics & Development Map
Really gotta wonder if this whole thing is the result of the developer knowing they couldn't pump forever but doing it anyway, hoping the city would just let them get away with it, or if they really thought their permit was allowed forever.

Re: Uptown General Topics & Development Map
Has anyone noticed that all the trees in the median on 31st St between Hennepin and Calhoun have been chopped down?
Why?!
Why?!
Re: Uptown General Topics & Development Map
Not that it is is the right answer, but the only reason I would guess is utility or sewer work that may run in that area.

Re: Uptown General Topics & Development Map
Those trees in the 31st median actually had to be cut down because they weren't healthy and unable to fully take root. The city (or park board, I forget which) plans to replace them next Spring with a more intricate rooting strategy so they can actually grow well.Has anyone noticed that all the trees in the median on 31st St between Hennepin and Calhoun have been chopped down?

Ned Abdul bought the former Walker library and plans a redevelopment, according to this locked F&C article.

Re: Uptown General Topics & Development Map
From the article in the BizJournal it didn't sound like it was going to be a redevelopment -- just a refurbishment. At least, that's what it sounded like to me, according to this blip in the article:
That's good though, since that building clearly has some character.

Abdul told the paper that potential uses include a restaurant or offices.

Re: Uptown General Topics & Development Map
The story you link to used "redevelop" twice. I don't think that word implies a tear down. Regardless, every Abdul project I can think of has reused an old building.
