When the council finally approved the redevelopment of Block E it was after some long and tedious discussion. They thought long and hard and had genuine concern that they not just approve any old plan just to spur activity on a block that long stood vacant; but that they approve a plan that blended with the city and its vision. Can't say I was surprised that our esteemed former mayor termed the current discussion of design details involved in the project as "quibbling". I do however, find it insulting to staff who've had the project on their proverbial plate for over a decade now. I'd like to suggest that the folks struggling over whether or not to name a street after her quit their "dilly-dallying" and scratch her name off the list. JHarmon Cleveland
