This building is now located across the street from the police station. I guess the time comes in our neighborhood when we must realize that the rhetoric expoused by the Crafter of the Master Plan do not apply to some.
Some of us can do nothing to preserve the integrity of our neighborhoods. Seems only money and influence can do that. So the Developers build apartments that make our homes seem tiny. They build them on stilts so that the contaminated ground beneath is not disturbed. Meanwhile, where do we put all of the traffic and the deer? That is correct. The stilts are not just for parking and the river beneath. There is a blue dot beneath the soil there where Caddy Corner Gas Station used to be. And what about the statistics on School bus accidents in that area?
Who among you did not prefer the friendly look of the Salvation Army building that stood on this site for years?
For over a year this building has stood empty with no signs of revitalization. It has been added to the collection of ghost properties in the Englewood landscape, yet the Developers persist. I mean, there might even be a piece of green grass that is not covered with concrete. We can't have that.
Did anyone ever think that maybe it is time to stop building new adding new structures. Englewood is 4.9 square miles with plans to gut downtown with a double light rail track that already promises to bring thousands of strangers to town. 4.9 square miles that is already 95% developed.
