    Location should have been better used to collect taxes on a large new hotel or office building / apartment building. Many other places for the remembrance of a great lady should have been considered to show marginalized races how important education is in achieving success.

    It’s great to see the plaza is complete…I can’t wait to visit soon!

    Is it safe to say the raised intersection at 4th and Wisconsin was not part of this phase and is postponed until (if) the City gets funding to extend The Hop north?

    Seriously, I wake up every morning hoping to hear announcements for the development of the rest of 4th & Wisconsin and the Marcus Center parking structure. Even that one of the two developers who do not get the go ahead at MPAC move their proposal to 4th & Wisconsin. 🙂

    The future Cafe will be a real benefit for all the street people and rootless that will now have a toilet stop between taking free rides all day on M MCTS

    Building would be great to use the location for a remembrance of BIG BOY or WHITE TOWER.
