The Peace Bridge Plaza and 190 (I'd have to mention the water treatment facility as well) have had terrible effects on the air quality on the West Side. Expansion of the Peace Bridge Plaza would only make this problem worse. The spike in...

Three-quarters of the land surrounding Gates Circle can be considered in transition. Let's not leave the planning for this important gateway to the whims of developers. I would request the city to develop a master plan for this area to guide...
