I think they should make an "edgy," "hip" and "really cool" statement and make the sign a 3, like Namaste or ohm.
That would really mix it up - confuse people while being condescending at the same time.
I like it.

Well, thanks, chaglang. This way, I get points for being both clever and nice.

I have to say, North Oak. That "3" sign looks positively Arabic to me.

Any idea when this announcement will be made?

the only source that there would be an announcement today is from stranger things

They probably told Cordish to hold off on the announcement in revenge for how mean we were to them yesterday.

Welp

No Worries. Is there a new announcement date?

Also, I noticed that a Four Light Twitter Account was just made.
What is the timeline on that project?

I watched the finance committee yesterday where they talked about three light. While they may release renderings and make an announcement at any time, this initial funding agreement is just the first step of several. PIEA needs to approve an abatement (which is opposed by the school district) and then the council needs to approve the abatement recommended by PIEA. That in itself, is a multi-week/month process. If the abatement is not approved at the assumed level (100% for 10, 75% for 15 i think), Cordish may have the ability to obligate the city to increase the $17.5 million currently contemplated in the ordinance yesterday...so it could take even longer. That was my understanding at least. So in other words, it could be several months still until any movement is made on this.

Additionally, the reps from Cordish did say they are intent on moving forward with four light as the hotel/apartment combo. They did not make any comments on the timeline. The agreement voted upon by committee yesterday did, however, lower the city's parking obligation to all Cordish residential developments from 1.5 per unit to 1.3 per unit....which is good for several reasons.

And by the way, yesterday I learned or was reminded of something i had forgotten- The city is obligated to provide parking for ANY and ALL Cordish residential projects within the districts for 99 years from the start of the agreement. I assume that means the city is also responsible for maintaining and rehabbing those structures during that period....HOLY CRAP!

I've been assured the parking entrance for this project is on Truman Road, not Main Street.

Shame two light wasn't the same.

I believe the only entrance for Two Light is on Walnut? That's a pretty small impact (compared to Grand).

That's good...I assumed there would be one on Grand too

That's good for ALL the reasons. CBD does not need any more monster (subsidized) parking structures dedicated to one user. Share, bitches!

1.3 per unit is still a joke given how much they stop public from parking in their lots

At 300 units, that's 390 vs 450 spots

So it's one floor less of parking, give or take.

Isn't Two Light shared public parking?

What happens when Grand is closed?

I believe they’ll treat it like a “road closed to thru traffic” situation in a residential neighborhood. Anyone with a Two Light sticker will be allowed in.

So that's not really public.

Lol jfc

Why the attack on me? It's mindnumbing some of the decisions made in design of these buildings and district.
