No U-Stop for You
I don’t necessarily disagree or agree with the Planning Commission’s decision to deny a U-Stop and McDonald’s just north of Lincoln High School. But this caught my eye:
Several commissioners noted high schoolers would be crossing busy Capitol Parkway to get to McDonald’s.
Since when was having to cross the street to get to a business a reason to deny a zoning change request? Are Links incapable of crossing streets? Odd, that, since many of their parking spaces are across one or more streets from the school.

Wow. We are dealing with high school kids crossing the street, right?
Sheesh. That’s a silly way to simply say that you don’t want a McDonald’s right there.

Didn’t a very similar thing happen when the Amigos was going in?

The Amigos situation was complicated by its proximity to Sunken Gardens. I don’t recall Lincoln High being a factor in that discussion, but it may have been.
