They had a couple of neighborhood meetings, and they were mixed due to lack of parking provided. The development does meet the 2020 ordinance requirements passed by the city council that any residential complex located within 1/4 mile of a bus line does not need parking. Plus, businesses located on Washington Ave were worried that they would take the parking away, now wouldn't you want boots on the ground to go to your restaurants, shops, etc? foot traffic is better than car traffic. I also heard a rumor that someone was also eyeing the parking lot next to JJ Nissen as a residential development. If the building is built at 165 Washington Ave, 20 spots will be gone for the AMVETS across the street. They are also looking at selling their property as well.
