I don't want to see this development closed off - it needs to be open to the surrounding neighborhoods and be highly urban in design.

Precisely. This shouldn't be a lifestyle center in the middle of the city.

With that said, I will be furious if there is surface parking.

It is exactly the same site plan posted elsewhere and is an official site plan, its being used by the leasing company for pete's sake. At the six-o-clock position going toward Colonial blvd is obviously surface parking. Pad 1, Pad 2, and "M" are all stand-alone restaurants, which is much too suburban for this kind of project.

The positive is that there are so many spots filled with LOI's, which means they're less likely to go off half-cocked. That is the one thing Hughes has done right, line up the tenants ahead of launch so it looks full and relatively dense.

Hey, I suppose the silver-lining of Hughes not using the Duany plan is that there is no single-family housing, which should benefit those of us who own property in the Cottontown/Elmwood Park/Earlewood area.

My maternal grandfather's fraternal twin brother went to Bull Street when he was 11 and never came back home.

I suppose that should make me feel better, but it doesn't.

The rendering doesn't show the daylighted creek and parks that were supposed to be a part of the plan. I thought I recalled Hughes saying work had already begun on the daylighting of the creek, no?

I feel stupid now. I'd been looking at the rendering on my phone and it did not display the top third of the image. Thank you for clarifying!

I think the developer jumped the gun with his tenants announcement.
