[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know they tried mixed use at the Tenley Friendship library but couldn’t get a developer to reach an agreement. Any other mixed use buildings including a library and apartments?[/quote] Wrong, the NIMBYs totally killed it. They city even invested a million dollars into extra supports in the library to accommodate the extra density.[/quote] There was a handshake deal at the time to give the condo opportunity to a well connected crony developer. Moreover, the project would have required taking some of the Janney playground. Stinkage and shrinkage killed the project. Cheh was an initial supporter, until public opinion turned solidly against it.[/quote] OMG do we need to re-litigate this? It did not net out to a loss of Janney playspace. But you know that.[/quote]
