Looking through the August 2 Planning Commission agenda it looks like the developers have requested a rezoning for the project bound by Gratiot, Russell and Maple across the street from Trinity Luthern. They want a "Planned Development" district rezoning, which would give them flexibility in designing something very mixed use. We'd talked about this one a few months back, but I have forgotten about it. Anyway, they say they want: "multiple mixed-use buildings with residential, retail, commercial and institutional space, including a parking structure and additional off-street parking spaces." It'll be interesting to see exactly what they have planned here; I can't quite remember if there was talk about infilling this or starting over.
Here is Service Street that travels through the middle of this triangle:
