South Grand Parking Problem - Again
South Grand business owners are aghast at Commerce Bank's plans to sell an adjacent building and long-vacant parking lot to Krieger's which would retain the surface parking lot for its Sports Bar patrons. The back of the parking lot would be sold to developers for condos. The business district is SOL without the lot.
Residents, as they learn of the plan, are expected to be similarly distraught. Without that parking lot historic homes are more vulnerable to meet the demand for parking.
Commerce Bank doesn't care about the rest of the business district or the surrounding neighborhoods? Gee, what a surprise. And what ever happened to that fantastical grove of sassafras trees they promised us when they were unveiling the plans for their new bank building?
