Re: Southside - News & General Topics
Or if they really wanted to be bold they could eliminate parking on 37th, 39th and Columbus and route Chicago traffic on those streets south to 39th and back to Chicago. Tear up most of the pavement on Chicago from 37th to 38th and turn it into a park.
Re: Southside - News & General Topics
You mean south of the gas station? It's a church and I'm pretty sure I read the church owns the parking lot (used to have an agreement to let MetroTransit buses layover there).The city or country should buy the gas station. They should also look into buying the retail building across the street with a parking lot. This would provide them alot more flexibility to work with given there will be many difference voices on what should be done here. Im not sure what should go there. Im not sure if they still plan on the bus route going down Chicago. They would also be able to move the garden area to a more perinate home if people wanted to keep it.
There is what looks like bus stop construction happening over on Park and Portland which had me wondering if they had already decided to reroute the D line over there to avoid the square.

The D Line stations on Park and Portland are temporary build ones just like the ones on Olson Memorial for the C Line. Metro Transit does plan on returning D Line/Route 5 operations to Chicago when able to.You mean south of the gas station?

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
According to the Linden Hills website this is by right and doesn't require any variances. Lol amazing.

Such a small footprint on this building -- hard to believe that they can get this to pencil out!

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
The address is wrong, right? It says 4303 Upton, but that's the wrong side of the street, and this appear to be on W 43rd, not Upton. Or do I have the wrong space?New Snow Kreileich infill planned for Linden Hills next to Settegren's hardware. Looks fantastic. https://www.southwestvoices.news/posts/ ... pton-ave-s

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
I had the same problem finding the property by address.
It does look fully in 43rd filling the gap between two buildings. That would explain needing the underpass to access the pizza place.

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
If you look at the Hennepin County plat maps, part of this site is an L shaped property with it's primary frontage on Upton (the Martina storefront). The Zumbro Cafe portion of the lot is part of a different piece of property that's shared with the corner lot. I assume that they'll need to replat the properties before anything can happen.

A shady place, but I still went there for my cheap, junk food needs at times. RIP.

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
It'll be interesting to see if there's any interest from other fast food franchises, to either validate or put to bed the theory that non-conforming drive thrus will be prized and sought after by other restaurants.

Whoops. I guess the site I was picturing is actually the Wendys in Stevens Square. Talk about crossed wires.

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
Here is the satellite view of it from Google Maps, plenty of space to develop into mixed-used development, prime spot near Franklin Ave Station.
Re: Southside - News & General Topics
Only the NE triangle is private property - the SW portion of this site is still public right of way (formerly a street) and would have to be sold to a developer to get a larger redevelopment site. Could be a great positive outcome from the simplification of the Cedar / Franklin / Minnehaha intersection that Hennepin County completed a few years back.
Per HC GIS, the current Taco Bell parcel is 0.28 acres.

Re: Southside - News & General Topics
I can't imagine what they are planning on doing with that public property. Unless they are trying to buy the taco bell also and combine it into one parcel.Only the NE triangle is private property - the SW portion of this site is still public right of way (formerly a street) and would have to be sold to a developer to get a larger redevelopment site.
