Somone explain to me exactly why they need this specific building. There is plenty of room south of it to rout the creek. The railroad that runs along the creek seems to be the bigger problem.

Have they come to purchase agreements with the owners of the other buildings in the area, or do they only want this one specific one? Do they plan on purchasing the MSU properties in the area as well?

And why are we blowing funds on this daylighting project in the first place. What benefit does it bring for ALL of Springfield and not just a few property developers.

There’s an entire multi year study and plan complete with engineering details. Look up Forward SGF or the Jordan Creek Daylight project.

You asked “can someone explain to me why they need this specific building” and I answered.

You asked about other buildings which are also covered in the plans (brick city remains).

You asked about the benefit of the daylight project…. Also covered in the proposal and approved plans.

Care to clarify what it is you are asking?

I did not ask for a link (or no link in this case) and run. I asked for an explanation and reasons. Not a look it up yourself reply.

Quite frankly a study made with the singular purpose of justifying development is trivial to do. Puer propaganda in many cases. I've done them in my sleep.

Ah. You asked for someone to do the work of summarizing something you’re already a set against without actually being willing to consider it. Got it.

Take your lazy ass to BK if you want it your way.

They need to redo the bridge that’s right next to the building. It’s in critical condition at the moment.

I almost upvoted this for the comedy gold. Almost.

There is absolutely no room south of it, unless the water starts flowing uphill. That entire valley slopes down toward the railroad tracks, and the building is in between the current channel and that low point. And, again, this building is right next to the creek already, and right next to the bridge that needs replacement. I guess the City could always pay double to rebuild that bridge without buying the land.
