St. Anthony Village <br /> Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment <br /> Open House Comments Summary <br /> Development Characteristics <br /> Development Features <br /> - Like the walkable spaces with easy access to retail and basic services (4) <br /> - Like the idea of a downtown (like 501h and France) <br /> - Like the small village atmosphere (2) <br /> - Sidewalks and street lighting are a must <br /> - Opus boulevard create needed downtown <br /> - Want activity outside my door(if I lived in the development) <br /> - Good ingress/egress on plans <br /> - Tie into surrounding area (like Opus did) <br /> - Liked Pratt's central court yard <br /> - Some housing is too close to the rail lines. (3) <br /> - Commercial might be better next to the rail lines than residential. <br /> - Incorporate more residential on Silver Lake Rd <br /> - Did not like the skyway feature in Centex's concept <br /> - Be mindful of impacts on Stinson Avenue side-the senior high-rise and other <br /> apartments depend on convenience of businesses nearby <br /> - Don't make it an"ostentatious looking development" <br /> Use architectural styles that provide a sense of coherence. <br /> - None of the proposals distinguished themselves with anything innovative <br /> St. Anthony needs a center, it's too chopped up. <br /> Add a theater <br /> - Add a cultural center <br /> Move the City Hall to the NW Quadrant site. Move the Fire Department and <br /> Police Department together on current City Hall site. <br /> Community center <br /> - Liked the Community center/Civic center concept (11) <br /> - A youth center would be a good addition(3) <br /> - Would help provide steady flow of-customers for retail services <br /> - Tie the Community center closer to the regional park and Salvation Army <br /> Camp site <br /> Open space amenities <br /> - Like the concept of holding ponds and other environmental safe guards. (12) <br /> - Park areas are needed (5) <br /> - Like green spaces with path or sidewalk (24) <br /> - Like the green space connecting to Hennepin Parks <br /> - Add a clear connection to the lake <br /> - Add a community pool (3) <br /> 1 <br />
