This $250/ psf structure plus Beacon Hill plus CSD proposals. Information officers …. resource preservers…. arborists … Phylis Edwards announcing 2 surprise 6 figure positions…. It is all a little overwhelming. They can build and hire like crazy, but if I want to add a 200s/f deck , I’ll have to pay fees, submit plans for next years pruning of my trees and be open for mulch inspections – and as the ordinance is currently written, I could get busted for my son’s tree fort to boot.

Remembering how outraged owners were in 2009 when the city announced they weren’t moving, I hope both parties are content with the result and they’ll finally start work on the LCI.

We needed a new Public Works building from what I hear. And I think we are sharing with CSD somehow. This building may represent a good multi-use investment.
