Prospect North - 4th St becoming green boulevard

[pharmacygopher]

Nothing imminent by any means, but this is an interesting read. You would think if done right, this could be an awesome 'alternate tailgating' experience for football. A direct path from Surly Brewery to TCF - yes please!

The spine of Prospect North will be a “Green Fourth Street,” which runs from the Stadium Village light rail station through the Prospect Park station.

Buildings with apartments, offices and shops would rise along the boulevard, connected by a shared heating and cooling system. The new neighborhood would be bookended by TCF Bank Stadium and Surly Brewery’s future craft beer mecca, now under construction.

I'd like to see this happen. It is an interesting concept. Let's see how well it works.
