Every day I pass by the same empty parking lot by the metro station at Northern and Wabash, and every day I wonder when the state will finally decide to stop wasting that land waiting for commuters who never come and turn it into a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood centered around that metro station.
Streuver whatnot and Rouse are already renovating that mill near the Woodberry light-rail station, why can't the same be done at this station?
Not only should the parking lot be redeveloped, but the entire area around it. The ugly NorthWest stripmall down the road could be completely rehabilitated as an urban village. A little catalyst in the form of state investment could generate a huge payoff for the city, especially the West side.
