Impact analysis
The city spent $15 million reacquiring the parcels; councilors debated whether a sale, ground lease or other structure recovers that value while keeping long-term public benefit.
Anyone who takes the survey or shows up on April 29 gets a say in how the parcels are used.
High school students and staff who rely on free street parking on these parcels will lose it once development begins.
