I've seen pictures of Mikey, he may well have come to the right place for that.

Editorial: New Old Harbor District
David Brussat


After years of finagling behind the scenes, a cooperative way for officials in Rhode Island and its capital has been forged to guide development of the new Old Harbor District once the old Route 195 bridge has been removed.

Why not just relocate all of the industrial businesses north of Thurbers Ave. to south of the port or to Quonset Pt.?  It makes to much sense to develop this land so close to downtown and as a continuation of the existing Riverwalk not to.

This is where projects like Vista Dell Torre should be .

PROJO:  "$28-million plan would expand Port of Providence"

http://www.projo.com...21.34f349e.html

"The $28-million-plus plan calls for the redevelopment of the former city landfill along Narragansett Bay, the extension of existing Providence-Worcester railways lines, and the purchase of two specialized cranes to handle shipping containers."


This is an economic "must" for the city & state at this point IMHO...

PBN:  "City moves to protect waterfront business
Planning Dept. suggests limiting residential use "

"After an outcry from marine businesses along Allens Avenue in Providence, the city has scaled back its proposed redevelopment area.

The City Planning and Development Department will recommend that the redevelopment area – which some business owners feared would be a precursor to the city taking their land by eminent domain – be reduced in size"

"Shooters zoning denied by the CRMC"

http://www.pbn.com/detail/47580.html

There are eight CRMC council members. What was thedistribution of no votes? Do any of the council members live in Fox Point?

If a Type 4 classification requires less review because Type 4uses produce less significant impact on the waterfront, why would the CRMC turn down thecity’s proposal unless the CRMC was politically prompted by the Head of the Bay Gateway Committee?
