I guess its ok to let citizens vote on it, however, several million has already been spent on some of these projects for land and design work.

Also, another referendum petition is being attempted to stop an apartment complex at 33rd and Kelly. Im sure the petitioners are using the same old criticisms of traffic, water run off, crime, schools, etc.
That's absurd. The location of the proposed apartments is surrounded on three sides by commercial uses.

And the only nearby neighborhood (Hidden Prairie) isn't particularly nice. Those folks aren't rich enough, imo, to be blocking dense multi-family uses in the offsets.
