Episode Details

A five-story apartment building is proposed for Lincoln Square, replacing a former restaurant with 30 market-rate and 7 affordable units—mostly one- and two-bedroom homes—alongside 13 EV-ready parking spots and 40 bike spaces, including room for cargo bikes. But locals are pushing back, demanding more bike-friendly design, more housing units, and even taller buildings (up to seven stories) to better serve families. With the neighborhood already walkable and transit-rich, residents argue cars aren’t essential. The developer’s team acknowledges higher costs for taller buildings but is exploring tweaks like reducing an alley setback—pending city approval. Community feedback ends August 3rd, with City Council review expected October, and construction possibly starting next year, wrapping up by winter 2028.
