The City Council has shown that it will spend money on new urbanist projects. It is about to commit itself to investing millions of dollars to the Seaholm redevelopment. It's spent who knows how much just planning for transit-oriented development around Cap Metro's commuter rail stations; it will take millions in infrastructure investment to spur the development the city wants. Then there are Mueller and the Domain. New urbanism can be expensive, but Council is willing to spend the dough. |
