This has been a topic of discussion on here before:
The city council on Monday will consider developer Howard Wakeland's request to rezone nearly an entire block of properties along North Lincoln Avenue.
The council meets at 7 p.m. Monday at the Urbana City Building, 400 S. Vine St.
The properties are west of Lincoln Avenue, between Hill and Church streets, just north of the Illinois American Water plant. The site is currently made up of single-family homes and Wakeland wants to change the zoning from residential to general business-university.
So, um...discuss!
If you want see how crazy Urbana has become, you will have to tune into to the historical preservation commission meeting for 508 W. Elm that took place on July 2. The example is allegedly so extreme, that it makes Urbana's past arguments on historical status look conservative. Has Urbana been taken over by out-of-control political activists or reasonable people with different opinions? I'm hearing that it this example is truly unbelievable, even by Urbana's standards. Should be on TV and the website in the next couple of days.
If you want to see crazy, watch the City of Champaign supervisor try to explain her budget.
what happened B? I can't get UPTV on my cable.
Does anyone know what the Council decided ?
