[Neighbors] Property at Silver and Wellesley

[Jana Hazelbaker]

The city is gradually allowing for the “canyonizing” of Central and Silver
with these multi-story units being built directly on the sidewalk. Change
is certainly inevitable but destroying the look and feel of the
neighborhood and the ability of the sun to shine on those sidewalks
isn’t. Perhaps
this new project won’t be similarly objectionable.

Why do single family homes have setback requirements but these newer,
multi-story buildings don’t? Why doesn’t the solar regulation apply to
them? Developers are having their way and no one in city hall (none of the
elected officials or personnel with whom I’ve communicated) seems inclined
to take control and enforce code, aka do their jobs.

As for why storefronts are empty, perhaps the lockdown finished off what
ART didn’t destroy. We knew before Lead and Coal were made one-way
racetracks and ART was approved that these “enhancements” wouldn’t benefit
the neighborhood and they haven’t.

The city has essentially been flashing it’s middle finger at this
neighborhood for sometime. It’s important to get involved with the
developer and the hearing process on this and other projects in hopes of
preventing the city from granting additional permanent code violations on
the neighborhood.
