East Village Transit Center

Last I knew 10th and main was going to be a greenspace?

Nope.

Any legit plans to build something?

Otherwise, they may as well keep the fountain and nice trees.

Isn’t Kemper gone? Thought he was now working in DC?

I should have been more specific. This would be Jonathan, not Crosby.

There’s always a Kemper in the banana stand.

I think the fountain will stay on long-term.

As for the existing 10th and Main transit center, Makinen said its future reuse is still being discussed.

“We’d like to have some green space with a fountain, a park-like setting,” he said, adding the authority also would be open to using some of the site for a transit-oriented development.
