Re: [UC] Hotel site shifts to 41st and Walnut
Lack of off-street parking was a significant problem for the 4001 Pine location. I wonder if plans for the new location include a believable parking and service vehicle solution. It will be interesting to see how folks living a few blocks from 41st and Walnut who felt that the project was a great idea at 40 and Pine are going to react to the new location. -Lew On Oct 28, 2009, at 7:55 PM, Frank wrote: From the DP: http://thedp.com/article/hotel-site-shifts-41st-and-walnut The new plan also proposes the creation of an ‘L’ shaped street from Walnut to 41st streets to divert traffic for the hotel off the main streets, a major concern of opponents to the hotel’s previous location.

The 40th and Walnut site is only yards away from the Fresh Grocer parking garage. The 40th and pine site required a convoluted (and probably unrealistic, unworkable valet system) -Original Message- From: Lewis Mellman lewismell...@mac.com To: UnivCity@list.purple.com Sent: Thu, Oct 29, 2009 7:26 am Subject: Re: [UC] Hotel site shifts to 41st and Walnut Lack of off-street parking was a significant problem for the 4001 Pine location.

Re: [UC] Hotel site shifts to 41st and Walnut
Any service vehicles coming to 40th Pine would have had to back into the four-space hotel lot from Pine St., blocking their handicapped parking access the entire time. It was absurd. I notice they haven't yet put up a web site with details as they did last time. I think they know better by now since it was so easily used against them.
