Just a reminder of another Westrich site where daily and event parking (as the new sign says) was added in place of a warehouse building.

Is the Ice Tower dead or is it just being kicked down the road for another 10 years lol?

Don't know about ten years, but furthest thing from their collective minds presently.

Who knew archited and IanO would work at Westrich at the same time...

Expect some updated images by tonight that better convey the overall vision and opportunity.

Definitely better than the current state of the site. Hopefully it does not remain a parking lot for long, I'm sure the COE will put a sunset clause in the DP approval or something.

It would be nice if at the very least one or two food trucks could also show up there and make this into a bit of a food area

I seriously thought the city wasn't allowing any more new surface parking though (temporary or otherwise) in the downtown?

Why does the shack want me to take a brick in the box? (I know what it's actually saying, I just hate that mnmlst splln).

 

[BrettB]

Isn't there a parkade under that space?

Vision = $$$

Between this and the ICE tower surface lot, you guys are ridiculous. Thanks for all the added vibrancy.

Yeah, it sucks now and it'll suck after, I get it. But this could easily be a green space, maybe some basketball hoops, food trucks, as a temporary measure before anything is built. Positioning this as a win for downtown when you know it is nothing but a cash grab for Westerich, perhaps indefinitely, is lame.
