Obviously this is still sort of a concept, which would probably be narrowed down by the study during the $15,000 studying time.
Edit: Also... why the hell is it up to bloggers to show off this concept and convince people its a good idea?

QCI Its hard to tell if you're pissed off at the request for more info or that it's not all over the city's website? Anyway, glad to see you respond to requests on your site by providing the link. By the way, I looked on the city website just this morning and couldnt find this info. Would expect an issue that's worthy of a special council meeting to be posted in Latest News. The info didn't pop up on D1's site either.
Its buried in the CAT grant application a few entries down on the Latest news section.
I'm not at all mad about people wanting to know what the project is, I'm mad that they aren't being shown the project before the controversy starts, or at all.
Cool. I think we might both agree the city website has room for improvement.
So how do you feel about the special council meeting planned to force the aldermens reconsider of the Freight House deal before another regualr council cycle takes place?
Its been on the site a while, but not many people probably decide to read the whole CAT grant application. (I linked to it a couple weeks ago)
I believe there was a small press conference months ago when the Market district first started to be discussed, but there should have been more publicity for the project, and its benefits. I don't know how they expect citizens to support something they don't know much about. I believe if people are shown the benefits they would be more likely to be in favor of the project.
You're exactly right about getting the word out. You'd think D1 and others would have learned their lesson from River Renaissance, where they did a pretty darn good job of stressing the benefits of these types of projects.
