Bramm Yards Master Plan
#29
Really disappointing if this leads to a multi-year process just to sell it off and wait another decade for an Auburn or similar to re-develop it. Agreed with other posters that a combined project subdividing the lands while creating new parkland and amenities right downtown would be much better. We already know we can't leave it up to developers to get the likes of a high quality pedestrianized streetscape or decent public access parkland because it requires them to give up on too much land value return leaving space undeveloped.

The hill here is also a space that could have made for a really interesting park and stage/bandshell type configuration as a bit of green space in the middle of all the new high density. Mission Dolores Park in SF comes to mind.
