Cardinal Way is simply a access way to parking lots. You get a ticket before going in and pay when leaving,DTGstl314 wrote: ↑Apr 19, 2020Great pics, thanks! So is Cardinal Way now being treated like an actual street, as opposed to just a thoroughfare within a parking lot? To clarify, can you drive on Cardinal Way now without going through a boom barrier first? I noticed boom barriers right at the entrance to the parking lot just north of the WS trophy roundabout. Also, I don't know why, but I feel like it's only a matter of time before the WS trophy sculpture gets hit by some drunk moron speeding down the road.
The root system will survive. Underneath it all of those pavers are suspended and it’s like one large tree pit. It didn’t look like a Silva cell system but I’m confident the root system will survive. I’m more worried about how they will accommodate the trunk width over time.rbeedee wrote:Can those trees actually survive in those tiny wells?
OK, so to be clear - you can drive down Cardinal Way without getting a ticket for the parking lot? Like, could I pull onto Cardinal Way from 8th street, circle the roundabout between the PWC and OneLife buildings, and then exit right back out onto 8th street without ever having to go through a liftgate or needing to get a ticket? And once OCW is done, drive all the way down Cardinal Way from 8th to Broadway without needing to get a parking lot ticket?chriss752 wrote: ↑Apr 19, 2020Cardinal Way is simply a access way to parking lots.

Got it... so you have to go through two sets of gates? Because it looks like there is another set after you are on Cardinal Way that you have to go through to actually get into the parking area. This picture is actually why I asked the question in the first place...chaifetz10 wrote: ↑Apr 20, 2020No - the gates are before you get to the roundabout. The streets you see are nothing more than driveways to access the parking lots. Once you pull in, you'd have to go through the gate before you could turn around.
) the same thing.Yeah, unfortunately. It's gonna look like sh*t. I'd be fine with it if the entire crown was a giant wraparound LED like the things you see in Times Square, but this just looks like somebody put a big flat screen television on the top of the building with duct tape.Gary5071 wrote: ↑Apr 24, 2020You can see the led panels have been installed on the video section by viewing the webcam.

100% disagree. This looks horrible and tacky...BellaVilla wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2020It looks fine.DTGstl314 wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2020Yeah, unfortunately. It's gonna look like sh*t.

It looks a hell of a lot better than the parking lot it replaced. And you're really gonna pass judgment on a rendering? C'mon.DTGstl314 wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2020100% disagree.

so since it's no longer a parking lot nobody can have an opinion about the design.BellaVilla wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2020It looks a hell of a lot better than the parking lot it replaced.
that's kind-of the whole point of renderings. also, it's not difficult to imagine a random, disproportionately small TV screen on top of a 30-story building looking stupid and trashy and immediately outdated.BellaVilla wrote:And you're really gonna pass judgment on a rendering?
