I’ve posted an article Dueling North Quads: A Criticism of Supporting Land Uses to the site library, inspired by two stories in today’s Ann Arbor News:

>Private dorm will open first
>New dorm’s impact generating worry

1. Murph,
   
   Good piece. For those of you too lazy busy to read it, here’s my summary:
   
   * The State St. & Huron “North Quad” with no parking = good fit in a pedestrian-oriented area
   
   * The North Campus private “North Quad” with parking = doesn’t quite fit the long term plan for the area
   
   Consider giving the private dorm little to no parking to help push along the Northeast Area Plan for mixed-use, pedestrian oriented development in the area.
   
   Does that cover it, Murph? =)

2. With slightly more focus on “the long term Plan for the northeast area doesn’t quite fit the long term ‘plan’ for the area,” yep, that’s about it.
