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.

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

Why don't you buy the land and build your vision? Easy (and boring) to carp from the sidelines. Boring.

You seem to be forgetting that it will be taxpayer dollars paid by those on the sidelines that will end up paying for this… :(

If this is what it takes for Westrich to be able to afford to buy it from Regency, those sideline dollars will end up in Regency’s pockets as a reward for bestowing this on us .

Exactly my thoughts. Put a basketball court there in the summer and try for an ice rink in the winter, at least until it's ready for build out.
