I am really happy that the City and developers are building out that area around 65th, that place really did need some help,
If there is one thing I would want the city to do with that area, it would be to integrate residential and retail. While the city has some leisurely areas (700K, R Street Corridor, and MAARS), they don’t have any that I know of near the college itself. How awesome would that be if that area would have residential areas as well as bars, arcades, restaurants, and maybe a few boutiques. That would be an ideal college hangout area.
What would be even better is if they can reuse some industrial buildings and vacant lots in the area to create a residential retail district near the campus.
