[Vision2020] Alturas

[Dan Carscallen]

BJ said what I thought was true.  I knew Mann & Stanke wasn't located
downtown -- which I (and probably many others) define as the area between
First Street and 8th Street, and Jackson to Washington.  Maybe that's a
tight boundary, But I see that area as pretty dang vibrant and bustling.
Heck, you can tell just by trying to park down there!

If we want to stretch the boundaries of "downtown", I would contend that
Alturas is right on the fringe, since it is not a heck of a lot farther out
than the Adelphia building where Andrea Beckett was located.

It all seems like semantics to me.  I see it as a much more cost effective
use of tax-support than some other "projects" that the city has funded.
