The election got in the way of this one but it's worth a bit of ketchup . . .
Charles did a great write up in the pitch about tearing down the building next to the majestic. They closed off the sidewalk and one lane of Broadway. They also shut down the alley behind the building. There was no public hearings or consent for tearing down a building in a district on the historic registry. Here is the kicker though, no one can get to see the demotion permits (including people who know the system very well). So the question is, "Did a private contractor take half the northbound lanes of Broadway without the proper permits?"
It is a cluster that we got about a weeks notice on and no warnings about traffic. If a high powered real estate lawyer can't get the permits, something tells me they don't exist. You will understand my concern given our city's history with unpermitted construction outside restaurants.
