200 Riverside Renderings

the Skyway extension isn't going to happen anytime soon regardless...several City Council members are adamantly opposed to any more $ going toward it.

Fear not! We can always replace unwanted Councilpersons as easily as light bulbs.

Yeah.  My cousins all voted against Obama as well.

the difference being 100 million voters vs. 19

This project does not block a potential skyway extension.  The ROW will still be preserved.

The mixed use building site is also primed for a mid or highrise building with a residential component.  Throw in a garage large enough for tenants and hotel patrons and you have one nice site for a 30 story scraper.

Its good to hear 200 Riverside is still 'active' for all intents and purposes.  With the money the city spent on that stretch of Riverside Ave(and the subsequent demolition of a once vibrant thoroughfare), infill is needed. 
I actually think a hotel there would be fantastic.  More rooms close to downtown is sorely needed if we are to attract things such as better convention business, another Super Bowl, a potential NCAA Final Four(or Frozen Four), close hotel rooms for performers of an expanded RAM, etc.
