Disappointed, but not surprised that the Convention Center district plans have been sidelined. It's tough when there are multiple parties involved. I know in St. Louis, it took nearly two decades of discussion to redesign and reconnect the area around the Arch.
Hopefully, the hotel will move forward and another party can develop some type of entertainment, retail, residential component. Otherwise, that hotel will be smack dab in the middle of a bunch of empty lots. Not very appealing from a tourist standpoint.
Glad to hear it sounds like the 1031 Canal project is moving ahead as the Hard Rock Hotel now.
Also, thanks for the sharing the Concourse A plans. I guess three sterile gates is suffiicient for now. The sterile corridor can always be extended further down in the future if needed.
