COUNCILMEMBERS RESPOND ON HINES PROJECT: Ted Winterer

From:Ted Winterer

I believe there’s a good chance the project as approved will succumb to challenges in the courts or at the ballot box, which will leave the applicant with only the option of reoccupying the existing commercial space, the very scenario four of my colleagues sought to avoid. So I would have preferred to explore an alternative with a much greater percentage of housing as that choice would no doubt have much reduced traffic impacts and have been more palatable to many in our community.
