City Council Meeting for June 27th (24. June 2006, 21:06 by Derek Young) ~ Our City At Work
We were perusing the agenda for Tuesday’s city council meeting, when we noticed at least a few things that might interest you.
First, our streetcar friends are finally going to get their day before the city council. On June 27th, the council will vote on whether to support a feasibility study of a streetcar system in our town. This should be fun.
Second, the University of Puget Sound is apparently looking to build a new entrance to the University. The city council will vote on whether to vacate part of 15th Street west of Alder to make way for the new entry.
Finally, a mixed use commercial/residential project in the south downtown area between South 28th and 29th between C Street and Pacific is apparently in the works by a Seven Stones, LLC and William Baker. The project is on the agenda as its looking for the city to vacate the Commerce Street right of way around the project. From what I hear, the project sits in two zoning codes: R4 and Warehouse Residential (WR). Any thoughts on this? I didn’t know about this project. Anybody know a few more details?
There are other things on the agenda, but they didn’t catch my eye. Of course you’ll tell me if I missed something.

That might be interestong to see something down that far down Pacific.
Right now, Pacific kind of dies off once you pass the Harman.
As for the street cars, they won’t have to dig up the street again would they?

The Seven Stones project has been planned for almost 2 years. Last I heard they were looking for a larger retail tenant (possibly a grocery store)but also were thinking of selling the project off.. That was over a year ago.
That site will have great views of downtown if they build up.

What’s up with Seven Stones?
“When he [Abraham] left Mina and was brought down to (the defile called) al-Aqaba, the Devil appeared to him at Stone-Heap of the Defile. Gabriel said to him: “Pelt him!†so Abraham threw seven stones at him so that he disappeared from him. Then he appeared to him at the Middle Stone-Heap. Gabriel said to him: “Pelt him!†so he pelted him with seven stones so that he disappeared from him. Then he appeared to him at the Little Stone-Heap. Gabriel said to him: “Pelt him!†so he pelted him with seven stones like the little stones for throwing in a sling. So the Devil withdrew from him.â€
