Interior demolition has begun on the Mills project.

Today's business journal reports that the Mecklenburg Mills project will include retail space adjacent to the 36th street station. There were no details since there is not yet a site plan for the project. The article also suggested that the residential units may be larger (in terms of square footage, not number of bedrooms) than previously thought. Some timeline information was provided: construction begins early 2013, projected completion mid 2014.

Another brew pub coming to Noda, this time Highland Mill -- nice use for this space. Should open in mid June. South Noda is becoming quite the beer center, hopefully this can be leveraged into more pedestrian activity in the Matheson area.

On an entirely different NoDa subject, on my way to work today 36th street was closed due to work on the ACWR grade crossing. When I came home from work it appeared that the ACWR had derailled on the crossing. The train was blocking crossings at both 36th and N Davidson st.

It was a mess.

I saw them working on the ACWR too, so I assumed they were beginning the steps to reroute it in preparation for the BLE. Turns out they were just relaying the tracks and repaving. One plus side of this, though, is that there is now a continuous sidewalk along 36th (there was gravel previously).
