Still a strong NO to Echo Harbor

In advance of the RTD’s Public Square on the James River, the Church Hill Association has reconfirmed its position with regard to Echo Harbor:

The developers are proposing 250 condominium units to be built in two 350′ wide buildings, (in a stair-step configuration), separated by a 275′ view corridor. These structures are to be placed atop a 3 level of parking garage, all of which would be setback 50′ from the river. Following the Q&A session “¦a motion was made, seconded, and universally approved. It stated: “The Church Hill Association opposes the development as proposed and recommends no rezoning other than RF-1 with its 60 foot height limit.”

    They are right. I would much rather look at old vacant lots and abandonded buildings than something new. As I remember, the last time I was in the park, I was the only one there looking at the river. One person in 15 minutes is four an hour…………hhhhmmmmmmmm.

    Elliot, I happened to be there at sunset tonight, and there were twenty or so people in the park looking at the sunset.

    The folks who live in the immediate vicinity will tell you that they REGULARLY have tour buses up there to see the view. By regularly I mean at least once a week, often more times. These are apparently the buses that also go to St. John’s Church. From what I can figure, either before or after the church, the other stop is the view from the park of the river, with the sign that’s on the rock down a little bit from the monument.

    Since Rockett’s is not allowing public river access, I think it would be a great idea if the city put a park with boat access in down there. And I don’t live near there, I’m way north of Broad, so I don’t have any vested interest.

    I would love to see a list of the people who stand to make the most money from the Echo Harbor and Shockoe Bottom Baseball Stadium.

    If we could somehow get a list, we could then simply “follow the money” and try to find a way to appeal to their collective consciousness (or lack thereof).
