Ashby High Rise is a disgrace. Builders will destroy a beautiful RESIDENTIAL neighborhood. Simply GO elsewhere where it’s appropriate. Shame on them and their greed.
Bad Karma!

Actually the argument is not gone. The city for the 6th time today did not approve the plans and have returned them to the developers. The city did not approve the variance due to the blockage of traffic on Bissonet that would occur by trucks accessing the loading docks.

Why do you think this will be approved? Just because they ask for a variance doesn’t mean they will get it.

And having a loading dock on Biss or Ashby is still an incredibly dumb idea.

Well,

I guess that traffic argument that StopAshby guys have been putting there last stand on is gone.

If all they want is a variance, it should be a big issue. Variances like this are always submitted and usually pushed through.

The loading dock will have to be on Bissonet or Ashby. Bissonet has more room to not be completely blocked when moving trucks or garbage trucks need access to the building.
