Environmental cleanup to begin at Greyhound site
|
plus & minus
|
|
| Definately an upside on the environmental cleanup, but tragic that it'll be replaced by an ugly substation... unless of course the city has an interesting strategy for making it blend in with an increasinlgy pedestrian busy neighborhood | |

Maybe they can make it look like the Pontius Mansion that was there from 1889-1930: http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=cybertour.c |

From the DJC article: A new substation will be large and expensive, and require significant input from local interests. Because it will be built in South Lake Union, Geissinger said it will be an innovative station and will undergo a rigorous design process with substantial design review. She said City Light expects the station and the design process to be “something other than ordinary” because of how involved people in the neighborhood are in the planning process. The station could be built either above or below ground. Pontius Mansion would be "something other than ordinary", right? |

cleanup Greyhound site for Seattle utility substation
|
|
| Looks like a plus aesthetically and electrically. Have heard plans reviewed and questioned. Feel a responsible project unlike so many with perhaps the desperation of developers that are underwater on value leveraging and pressing so hard for destructive height increases in the areas so carefully zoned when Steinbrecker was on the council to maintain the lake and Space Needle iconic views for our citizens. | |
