Because it's the same issue with the City not wanting a parking garage on Main Street either.

If you read my story you'll see that the association first started with the idea of putting it on one of their lots on the south side of Main and were basically told by city planners that was a no-go in informal meetings.

And they've already paid for all the architectural and engineering on this site.

Remember, this project will have commercial space on the ground floor facing both the park and Main.
