keeps failing,” he said.
City planner Troy Doss warned that
this probably isn’t in the cards. “There
was a very active debate as to whether
to have a road on the greenway, and the
decision was not to,” he said.
According to Doss, “It can’t go into
the greenway, and it can’t be a regular
street. Two lanes with parking isn’t an
‘accessway,’ it’s a street. The greenway
is just 100 feet wide, and it’s chocked
full of programming.”
Commission members discouraged
the Zidell team from pursuing this
course. “There would be a lot of push-
back,”฀Kathryn฀Schultz฀said.฀“It฀could฀
derail all your good work,” David
Wark said.
Commission chair Gwen Millius
added, “There’s a 100-foot setback for
a reason.”
