I wonder if a single person would support this use besides the ones proposing it.

It would be better if they were proposing something appropriate for first block at the same time instead of just being vacant for future development. I don't mind the storage being behind the first block businesses where the surface lot is now.  I was hoping for a Luckys, trader Joe's or perhaps a chain hotel.  Mixed use in that space though which includes storage, good infill on the Edgewood side and perhaps some apartments on the top level would be great.

There's a Change.org petition against this development as well as a community meeting next Monday at Fishweir at 7 P.M. I'll definitely be showing up speak against it. What a terrible use of space.

A well designed hotel would also probably work there. I can't think of one decent hotel near Riverside, Avondale or Murray Hill.

I have always thought that a smaller grocery concept would be an ideal fit for that space.

I'll give them this, at least they aren't proposing the entire lot be filled with a storage facility.  Usually developers want to put their building smack dab in the center of whatever space they have and then surround it with parking and landscaping.  They actually want to reduce the setbacks, reserve street-frontage for future use, and all but eliminate off-street parking.  A storage facility isn't going to put sneakers on the sidewalk though.

***MULTIPLE SOURCES HAVE SAID THAT TRADER JOE’S MADE OFFERS ON THIS LOCATION AND WERE TURNED DOWN FOR THE STORAGE UNITS.

Has anybody else heard this? I think it would be an awesome get for Murray Hill, obviously. But it feels like wishful thinking to me.

I'd seriously question the reliability of those multiple sources.

VEry, very hard to believe Trader Joe's would land on a street with the level of traffic as Edgewood Ave.

^That site has more visibility from US 17/Roosevelt Boulevard than Edgewood. However, I too have a hard time believing Trader Joe's made offers on that site.
