It seems a poor choice as either ingress or egress <br />must come onto Polk Street -'which is awkward and will tie up traffic-- already a problem. Polk is a major route used <br />often by our neighbors. <br />Look at the traffic mess created by the Dutch Brothers drive-through on West 11th at Chambers Street. <br />Usually there is a line of cars in the outside south-bound lane of Chambers. These cars are lined up in the south-bound <br />lanes to get into the Dutch Bros drive-through. This "waiting lane" blocks all west bound turns onto <br />W. 11th. Bad!! <br />If you are able to keep the backed up traffic off Polk Street, somehow, the best way to allow this construction is to put <br />retail on the bottom and a few floors of family-wage apartments above. <br />We need housing, on major roads and buslines!! Not more convenience stores. I counted four such stoes within a few <br />blocks of this site! <br />Thank you <br />Susan M. Connolly <br />Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <br />i <br />
