I didn't oppose the "dirt pile.' In fact, I've never opposed any development in my life until this project came along -- one that threatens to ruin the community that I love. I live nearby and have children at the elementary school. We have zoning laws to protect our residential community from over-development of this kind.
Bet you did not like the idea of converting the "dirt pile" into Cahaba Village either, did you? Look what a great addition that has been and the traffic is better now just as the experts said it would be.
Actually they propose bulldozing 27 acres of homes and many, many mature trees. The parking lot of Western will be replaced with 2 four-story decks, containing 437,630 ft2 (that's a lot) of concrete.
Love the video!! Thanks for bringing the facts to our attention! We love this village and we don't need parking decks and shopping malls in our residential community! Imagine the traffic!!

2.6 acres of the 27 acres will be parking deck. Your 437,000sf statement distorts the truth of footprint area.

Looks like a great idea to me. The current building is a piece of trash and needs to be torn down!

Looks like a great project. Well thought out. This is a much needed development.

but they're also planning on addressing the flooding issues of the area and bring it up to FEMA standards.

Good song, but aren't they proposing paving over a parking lot that is already there?
