If you look at the streetview you see the building is literally right next to a stream bridge along a clear watershed in the vicinity. The city’s “but all these vehicles can’t use it” in largely a wasteland of stuff is a puffery point.

The issue at hand is what is the fair value of building and land plus the recreation of the business inside from a logistical standpoint with a bit of historical $ cushion. Yes I know it’s a big history point for people from here…but that’s not much of a legal negotiation point.

That said, I have had a couple professional situations alongside a decent looking female counterpart and the owner was…a bit over the top in some ways.

I think buses are the main concern, the main bus terminal is right next to the bridge. I've not met the owner. That being said I've heard from a person familiar with the owner that he's simply asking for way too much money. For reference his other property is just a few hundred yards away near the old houn dawg plant.

Besides them wanting to replace that bridge there I believe this also has to do with the Jordan Creek supposed to be daylighted. That's going to look real stupid when it rains real heavy, and it floods everything because they didn't keep the creek underground lol.

You think they might have hired engineers to study such a thing. Maybe?

Uh, I'm not sure you understand how waterways work. It's going to be all meadowland, which is meant for periodic flooding.

Think of it more like the creek on sunset between Kansas expressway and Campbell.
