We keep saying that some catalyst project is needed to spark redevelopment.

Some folks believe that a grocery store at Shattuck could be the catalyst.  It would have lots of instant customers from Platt Park, Ruby Hill, and Overland, with more soon to come from Gates.

The station area draft plans show improved pedestrian access from the station to Shattuck, and this relatively inexpensive infrastructure improvement would be required for the store to get going.

 Any comments?

Yes, the Natural Grocers at Vitamin Cottage was mentioned.  Their store at Colo. & Evans may be a little too close for their comfort, though.  The one that really gets us salivating is locally owned  Tony's Market

You make an interesting point about "Overland's architectural style".  I think I'll start another thread on that topic.

Tell us what you know about the upcoming widening of Evans.
