[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem with the heights and that shopping center in general is it’s so confusing. I can never tell what level I’m on or how to get places. [/quote]

The main problem is that that area spans two jurisdictions and each individual site is owned by different parties.  There is no overall coordination to say turning FH into Pike & Rose as an example.  As an example, I have zero understanding of who owns the surface lot between Mazza and the old Lord & Taylor and what function it serves.  It's never been available for general parking and right now appears to rent space to a landscaping company to store their equipment.

Not to mention it's a huge waste to turn the old L&T into the bus depot...I guess the bus depot will get developed, but it's strange to move it 1/2 block away and seems like it will take years to actually happen.

Then you have the massive Saks parking lots that serve little purpose and could be incorporated into a grand plan.[/quote]

That site is a better location for the bus depot than potentially prime real estate on Wisconsin is, I think that plan makes sense. Literally anything would be better than the status quo. (I'd personally root for a giant indoor sports complex with soccer fields, but that's because then my kids could walk to winter soccer practices when the weather's bad instead of having it canceled.)[/quote]
