The old heritage apartment would have been nice to keep of course. My guess is Truman ran the numbers and it didn't make sense financially or they would have kept it somehow. The other possibility was the building needed a lot of money put into it. lot of work
I still love that original proposal for FCC. If they had built that second tower, it would be a standout, not just for the height, but architecturally as a cool looking design.
If only doing one line without spurs, it should stay on 17th. I can see someday down the road a spur might make sense given the amount of density going up in the west district area.
If they were to redevelop, it would definitely make sense to do u/g for the customers. They would have to do it for residents, and could throw in some extra space for shoppers. It would be great to see that parking lot go and have retail streetscape instead.
Kensington Safeway would be perfect for a redevelopment, they could create a larger footprint by removing the parking lot, which isn't as busy as it used to be. They could have a combo of street retail and store front entrance on the street.
That location already does far more foot traffic...
Those would be great top see. Especially 5th street all the way to Elbow. For the one downtown, myself I would like to see it go through 6th ave and into EV and connecting to the main river pathway. But I can see the benefits of 5th also.
