Uptown Planners meet Tuesday

Several topics of interest for Hillcrest & Bankers Hill residents will be discussed at this Tuesday’s meeting of the Uptown Planners. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Projects on the agenda include the proposed boutique hotel for Fifth Avenue north of the Union Bank building (at left) which will necessitate demolision of Amonite, Corvette Diner & Kemo Sabe structures. Although this image seems as if the steel and glass hotel (with residential units) will blend well with the 3-story Union Bank and Far West Savings buildings, the hotel will be 8 stories (126 feet tall). Another item: a Bankers Hill/Park West conceptual presentation for a mixed-use hotel 50-100 condos approximately 150 feet tall at Fifth & Maple (Mandarin House) and a report on zoo construction related traffic impacts in Marston Hills.
Don’t miss it — 6pm Tuesday at Joyce Beers Community Center in the Uptown District.
