another water tower?
If rumors are true, the other one won't be around for much longer.
The water towers at POR or DHS?
If rumors are true, the other one won't be around for much longer.
The long timeline makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider how this will impact parking and BVD in general (lane closures for new/modified entrances, flyovers, etc.). My only worry with this is that the West Side garage will likely be built first because it would be the least disruptive to traffic and typical parking habits, but if things start turning sour on the project (vendors pulling out with no replacements, another economic crash cycle during construction, etc.), there will be a similar parking issue as we have now, but an even bigger glut of parking and massive operational costs on the West Side.
Other than that nagging thought, though, I love it.
Can u expound?
If Cars Land takes over the backlot, the DHS tower isn't going to stick around.
It's that chance of things going sour that troubles me about the timeline. If they went all in and pushed this (while still keeping things operational) they could do this in a year, year and a half and it would leave less time for things to get cut or companies to drop out.
I don't think they could keep things operational and finish this in a year and a half. They need to build the parking structure first, so they can remove other parking to build the other stuff. So this has to be in phases or DTD would be useless during that year and half because no parking would exist.
So I just kind of blew this off as I'm more interested in the parks while on vacation and not shopping. But I'm watching the news and it comes on, oh cool, and I bury my head back into my iPad. I then hear 2016, and begin to just laugh... I will say it was nice to see Kathy here!

WESH: Is this in response to the success of CityWalk?
Staggs: Well uh, in a word, no. I think that we looked at this as a tremendous opportunity for our guests. One of the things I love is that this is a place embraced by our guests, but it's also embraced by the folks who live here in central Florida.
