But where's Altezzo?
Kevin noticed an interesting flyer today advertising commercial space available at the Hotel Murano. The flyer shows an artist rendering of the hotel with a 10+ story sculpture in front.
What we find a little surprising about the whole thing (in addition to the enormous sculpture, that is) is that the flyer is advertising the Altezzo space at the top of the hotel as being for lease. What happened to Altezzo? When did they close? Anyone hear anything about it?

Do you have any info on how this meeting differs from the one several months ago, where they presented different light fixture and sidewalk texture options and had people vote on their favorites? Is it that they have now taken that input into consideration and crafted a plan?

I’m pretty sure this L.I.D. meeting is for the public’s input for the next L.I.D. meeting, or the one after that …

Its my understanding that the bids have come back, and this is the next step before the bids go before the council for award. Nothing more than that, just informational for anyone interested. It is intended for the construction to begin in April sometime.

“It is intended for the construction to begin in April sometime.”
So it will have been almost exactly two years since the LID’s formation that we see construction begin. I know we hit a speed-bump half way through, but sheesh!

The delays have been unfortunate, but at least it’s happening.
(It is happening, right?)

The LID has already been approved. Now its just a matter of the bid for the work. Everying seems to be on track. The streets and sidewalks in question needed to be repaired 10 years ago.

No kidding, living right in the middle of this I have been dying for this to happen. Granted the construction period will be a pain in the convenience department, but I got over that a long time ago.
