Yes, very interesting news about the Roger's parking lot......
I do recall, about a year or so ago, some talk about a "major" residential/commercial project rumoured for the last bit of the Beaver Lumber lands. This rapidly dropped off the radar though, and since Verdiroc was involved in this possible development, I just assumed that this project had turned to stone just like everything else that this company has touched in the downtown over the last decade.
If the Roger's parking lot is to be sacrificed, this would obviously mean that a two phase development project will be necessary. Phase one would be construction of a new downtown parking garage. Phase two would be converting the existing parking lot into commercial/residential space.
I won't hold my breath on this one though. I don't think I'll believe it until I can see it!
