I appreciate the tough position the City is in in this situation, but I can't help but wonder, what if it had been Peters' Drive-In that had burned down, and not a DQ. I'm definitely sympathetic to the business owners. Hopefully they can find some resolution, particularly with their insurance company. I think the City's decision may ultimately benefit the landowner (or at least the landowner's daughter since the landowner may never see this property redeveloped in their lifetime) because I can't imagine how the highest and best use of this property is a drive through restaurant.
Also, my understanding is that the Centre Street N Main Streets Project is tied to the Green Line, but I'm curious if anyone knows whether funding for the Centre Street N Main Streets Project comes from the general Main Streets Program funding, or from the Green Line Project funding. Given the current uncertainty with the Green Line, if the funding comes from the general Main Streets Program funding, I'd like to see that funding directed to some of the other Main Streets Projects instead. I'd also like to see some of the City's recent surplus put towards Main Streets.
