hindesky Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Guys told me yesterday they would finish taking the tower crane down on Saturday and then breakdown the AT crane today. I guess it took longer than they thought. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually a pretty quite area, an edge between two districts with little car traffic. Imagining myself Architect on this job, which I'm not, but if I was, and the client wanted GFR I'd probably would advise doing a catchment study. Likely the study would've resulted in stating that anything other than a small coffee shop would've been tough to put in GFR. Maybe in another 10-15 years with more density and foot traffic then others could consider it. You can't force GFR. There has to be a need. Otherwise its just going to be wasted empty space. Don't plan from above. Plan from the ground. Edited August 12, 2022 by Luminare 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It certainly isn't hard to look at all of the empty retail/lots a block away along Tuam. It is understandable why they didn't add GFR and I agree probably the best case scenario would have been coffee. We are finally starting to see at least a little bit of momentum at Tuam/Genesee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is understandable why they didn't add GFR and I agree probably the best case scenario would have been coffee. We are finally starting to see at least a little bit of momentum at Tuam/Genesee. First, even a coffee shop would have been a nice for that neighborhood. But I don't think the problem with Tuam is where Tuam is; after all, the corner of Fairview and Taft like 300ft away has long been abuzz. The problem with that section of Tuam is that it's a thousand feet wide and somehow still manages to have a blind curve that cars take at 35mph or faster. It's a fundamentally unpleasant place to be. 101 Dennis is not that. I don't think it'd be a great spot for a full-scale supermarket with WF only a few blocks away, but I do think it could sustain a couple of restaurants, a coffee shop, and a small retail store like a bookstore. That is one of the densest neighborhoods (neighborhood neighborhoods, not superneighborhoods/districts) in the city, and currently everything they have access to requires crossing at least Bagby or Webster. It's not that it's some unforgivable sin or huge loss or whatever, just that with a bit more pedestrian-oriented/neighborhood-oriented mixed-use, it really could be the best example of fundamentally sound urbanism in the city. I mean it probably is anyway, but still. It could be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
