First link in post #5 works but it's not a map and all the other ones blow like WWLS!

Is there a way to highlight the areas that have been acquired?
Re: New Central Park Acquisition Map
Does anyone know if the old postal facility has been demolished yet?
Re: New Central Park Acquisition Map
Last time I went by the old post office, about ten days ago, there were big holes in the east side walls, but the building was still standing.

It was done as conceptual spacing, it did not over lay well with an actual map. had to distort the blocks to fit in actual grid.

Do you have a reason to believe it is? Do we know what they have paid for properties vs. appraised value? Is there a report anywhere?

Probably just as much reason to believe either way..do you think the Post Office and Goodwill sites were worth the $6 million or so that were paid for them (considering the building had to be removed, cost of environmental etc etc.)?
Re: New Central Park Acquisition Map
The last property they are acquiring cost a little over $300,000. I can't tell if it's an entire block but it looks as if it's multiple properties. That doesn't sound so bad.

Agree, much better than $6M

Yes, there were some concerns earlier about C2S that the city would not use eminent domain and that property owners were taking advantage of that by hiking up their asking price to leave. I think the city paid too much for the post office and goodwill. Goodwill absolutely took the city to the cleaners, or to the goodwill in this case lol.

Saw part of the last MAPS 3 oversight committee where two properties needed for the Skydancer bridge recommendations were approved. Both of the properties negotiated price exceeded the appraised value. Discussed that it was cheaper/faster to pay the escalated price than to delay things/expense of eminent domain process. Comment was made by Mr Wenger that one property was significantly over based on percentage of appraised value. Sorry but didn't catch any of the details (size/location/appraised vs. etc)
Goodbye downtown postal facility
Re: Goodbye downtown postal facility
Great pics! I drove by the other day, but didn't have a camera.
Re: Goodbye downtown postal facility
Thanks for sharing!
Good grief, this thing has been under demolition for months.
I'm anxious to see the vistas of Union Station when it is completely removed.
