Keep in mind these articles were written some time ago, a year I think. Does PDC own the lot on 102nd and Pacific? It is sometimes baffling why Gateway has stagnated so long. 3 MAX lines, Fred Meyer, and now two parks going in next year.
I guess in my uninformed theory of how places become named, there needs to be an identity or walking street. Gateway doesn't have that. When new apartment buildings jump in they can sometimes replace existing businesses. Perhaps an incentive for existing businesses to move into new buildings might work? Making 102nd a walking street would necessitate the replacement of some existing buildings. Perhaps another idea would be to create a Mercado like on Foster, or a cart pod area? 102nd and Pacific seems like a fantastic candidate for these.
