Spicer Village opening

http://www.ohio.com/news/break_news/19486719.htmlThis seems like a good idea in principle, but some problems I see are the fact that it is surrounded by the ghetto right now (that may change if their plan to buy all the surrounding homes comes to fruition), and the price tag. They had better be the nicest apartments in the city for that price.Either way, they are definetely an improvement over what was there before.

A poster on topix.net claims UA will clear out the Plasma Alliance area for Jackson Field expansion and they will reroute Exchange. I find that (the rerouting, not the razing) hard to believe. Where could it happen? All the way to Thornton St.?

No rerouting of Exchange in the plans. But some of that area south of Exchange is projected to be a large, grassy recreation area.

While I doubt that Exchange would be re-routed any time soon, it would be a simple matter of curving the existing Exchange St to Wheeler utilizing the existing Brown Exchange intersection, and then widening Wheeler through to Sherman. There are a lot of properties involved that would make this even a bigger pain then any of the current eminent domain issues the University and city have.I'm all for unifying the campus over Exchange, but this can be done with pedestrian bridges and tunnels at a far lower cost then acquiring a ton of land and the massive road project that would ensue.

I'm excited to even hear talk of re-routing Exchange-- I think that'd be the missing piece in really creating a campus. Totally doable-- I was there when Buchtel was re-routed, and that seemed impossible at the time. It'd be a great investment to basically have it go straight instead at Brown and swing it around behind Gallucci. That would create a huge commons area. It'd be amazing.
