We had a great render of our 3 condo projects along with gtech about 8 months ago, i forgot who did it.

Could we possibly get a new full city render to include the new 110 and Waterplace render, Westin II, the Hilton (w/tower), and maybe a mock-up of what Grants block could possibly be?

I don't know where that render went, but it won't change that much, if at all.  That render had OTW, Westin II, GTech, and the Waterplace towers.  There's been no Grants block render yet (and it wouldn't fall on that map anyway and if not a tower, won't alter the skyline) and the Hilton Tower was formally cancelled pending a market re-evaluation later (and that too would be off the map).

That future render represented Providence as it'll look for quite some time!

At Tiverton's Budget Committee last night we were reviewing the budget request for DPW and Landfill operations (Tiverton is the only community left in RI that has its' own landfill).  We learned last night that 9,000 cubic yards of soil/fill that were taken from various Providence projects recently were used as landfill cover at the town dump.

Providence comes to Tiverton...

Maybe there is a follow-up coming?  that didn't seem like much of a report to me.  although I guess being here I am a little more informed than Joe average projo reader.

Thats the third hint Ive gotten toward another big project in the past couple of weeks.  Somewhere on this board it was mentioned that there would be another "major" anouncement soon.

When I heard the update last night, I assumed it would either be the secret project, or parcel 12, but I haven't seen mention of anything new on ProJo today.

This is the Broadway Bridge dressed up to become a gateway for the city and more friendly to pedestrians. The building at the right is a random rendering Duany's people did for what could be at the circular gas station site. Since then Proc. Group has released their plans.

this bridge should be in the works

I had never seen that picture... too bad that building had changed, thats  a good looking building for that location, good height and visibility for those passing through on I-95!

Well i guess there is still hope for something like that there

As for the bridge, do you think it'd look cool of we had a common design for the pedestran bridges in the city? (like the one form the westin to the mall?)

what plans have been released regarding the old gas station site??  I thought nothing was imminent yet.  Leaks of a Hilton expansion and parking garage have been heard lately but that's not the same lot is it???

TPG was going to build condos at that site (called 55 Broadway), but that has been put on hold indefinately.

Seems like there is a lot of projects being discussed at the December 13th Providence Redevelopment Authority Meeting.  Anyone familiar with some of the items.  Bomes Theater and Loutitt are the only ones familiar to me.

The link you provided is to the November 8th meeting. The December 13th meeting is a much shorter agenda.
