City asking GSA to explain holdup on the courthouse

County puts ramp resolution to vote today

Let's talk about ramps: GSA can't figure out what's wrong with picture

Who cares? The whole thing is dumb. Half a billion dollars for this thing - figures when the "ground floor" is 14 feet above the ground (are they expecting a flood?).

The article from the other day mentioned how the development was going to make this "vibrant community" spring up in it's shadow. Yeah right. There's no need for the courthouse to be in any particular spot, it doesn't need a "vibrant community", riverfront property, or anything like that.

I think they saw more of the city's plans for streets & parking (or, more to the point, lack thereof), and they don't like it.
