Less football parking = bad idea.

I just posted on another thread but I just don't get this project. Not enough population and crappy weather for outside dining Nov to April. But I'm all ears.

Hasn't Jamie said that parking would be net positive in the end or at the very least equal? And more spaces will be paved once complete?

I thought that's what he said the last time they had an announcement on this but I guess we will see Monday if that still holds true.

I know nothing about this but I thought someone said this was kind of based on the Title Town development in Green Bay? If so then maybe it works - I wouldn't bet against JP.

If he can get donor money to pay for it and sustain it then kudos to Pollard. Sounds like a hell of a tax write-off for the donors.

Good point, they added several hundred more parking spots this year by paying the new lots by schemen/stevens and moving RVs to the village. Will be interesting to see the plans.

I still like Pollard and Light district better than Cytown, What does it cost for naming rights? Better yet can we run a poll and decide?

If there's not a Tasty Taco somewhere in it then I'm out.

I’m giving up my Clone card if it’s single purpose isn’t to get Taco Time back in town.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Is there going to be a Busch Light Bar?

 

[3TrueFans]

We don't actually have to call it CyTown do we?

 

[NWICY]

We don't actually have to call it CyTown do we?

I hope not when Pollard and Light is so much better.

Some people hate everything lol. Get off my lawn

El Assico La Destination?

You can oppose it but its going to happen. The underground infrastructure to support it will begin construction probably in Spring of ‘23.

 

[Drew0311]

It would be cool if the bars and restaurants were local owned type thing instead of chain stuff. Make it more unique. Wonder what rich guy will pony up the money to have it named after his family.

This shouldn't be a multi donor funded project, it should be solely a private development project with no risk to the AD budget. Now if a donor is sticking their neck out on this and assumes all financial risk, fine by me.

 

[DSM4Cy]

I'll be very curious to see if the Toppling Goliath rumor ends up panning out. That's a destination that would sustain year-round traffic.

If that's all you think it is, then no, you don't get this project.
