Illuminated bollards, indeed. The county wants traffic off the plaza. Let Comstock build a two-level plaza, the one below for cars and the one above (in whatever passes for sun) for pedestrians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-43241143886507991172010-04-26T22:19:46.753-04:002010-04-26T22:19:46.753-04:00The 2020 committee isn't anti-developer.

Keeping the County/Comstock feet to the 2013 fire is the only way. <br /><br />A phased development will only fill the additional time with haggling and an outcome the anti-developer 2020 committee wouldn't like anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-18058291263348577262010-04-26T15:30:51.039-04:002010-04-26T15:30:51.039-04:00Now wouldn't that be cool?

And what do we do with all of that surface area? Turn it into park. Maybe even put in a frisbee golf course. <br /><br />Or maybe that's where we could put in our new $100m rec center. I'm sure that would be a huge business draw. All of those folks in Tyson's could hop on the train and wind up at an indoor swimming pool complete with indoor tennis courts.
