If anything, the "Them's" had the late start since GGP, certain officials, and certain other connected personsto said officials, were pushing for the Town Center redevelopment idea long before the Charette ever took place. <BR/><BR/>I don't want to add to an "US vs THEM" angle to this debate, although I think that's exactly what you are striving for (not from me personally, but in general). I don't completely oppose something new happening in Town Center. But, I don't think something MUST be done anyway. I do disagree 100% with the notion that certain people are conveying, that Town Center is "dead" or "not vibrant". That's a bogus argument that people are trying to use to justify the whole proposal. <BR/><BR/>In truth, neither side can really say who has more supporters, and it doesn't really matter who has more supporters. The fact is there are many serious problems with the current "vision" ideas being bandied about, the biggest of which is traffic problems. And frankly, the proposed street realignment idea that would eliminate LPP and replace it with a grid of dozens and dozens of intersections (each with a stop sign or signal) would be disastrous to traffic flow (as in traffic would no longer flow). It would make getting into and out of Town Center a nightmare. <BR/><BR/>I can hear Hayduke screaming now - we need more public transportation. Sorry - public transportation can not fix the traffic problem. Sure, some people would use it, but not enough to outweigh the amount of vehicular traffic. <BR/><BR/>I'm not an "Us" or a "Them" - I'm myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
