PlanningBoard | 2016-04-11 | 7 | President Knox White said he liked the mural. He said he liked the informal play areas and wanted to make sure that the middle of Block 10 was a place that people wanted to be. He said he was floored that D Street was pushed through. He said that it would turn the intersection into a place just for cars instead of a continuation of the Waterfront Park. He said he would like to eliminate one of the curb cuts facing the affordable housing. He said he liked that the lobby was on the corner facing Atlantic. He agreed that it might make sense to calm down the design of the south elevation. He said he was very happy to see the retail in Block 9. He suggested that new board members review the TDM plan that was core to the environmental review and was approved by two city councils. He said we are not going back on the parking plan and we need to get beyond the issue. Board Member Köster said he worried that not having the turnoff might encourage more people to drive all the way to the end rather than turning off early. Staff Member Thomas explained that staff has been deliberating on the issue as well. Board Member Zuppan said directing cars down C Street puts them right at the end of the linear park, which creates a different set of conflicts. She asked for and received confirmation that the rental building (Block 9) would be a dog friendly building. No action was taken. 8.
