It was interesting that some of those townhome owners in the article were trying to imply that they may be getting the boot so that Harvard Developments can get their land for the Eau Claire market rebuild:
Quote:
Harvard Developments has big plans to redevelop the Eau Claire Market land into a mixed-use, transit oriented project.
Lindsay believes the River Run complex has gotten in the way of those plans.
"We're the inconvenient acre between them and the water," he said.
"As a result of the city's decision to throw our 23 homes in a landfill, the developer has their massive project to transform into a waterfront development.

I think the reality is that since they switched the plans to a bridge over the Bow their site was doomed, as even that illustrative rendering shows the space is being occupied by the train coming out of the tunnel. I wonder if they had gone for the tunnel under the Bow if their homes would have been spared the wrecking ball?
