The city is really moving this along faster than I expected. It's exciting to see how much progress has been made and they are really starting to make it happen.

I hate to see the individual property owner get hurt. People had certain rights when they bought their homes and I don't think we can take those away.

The No. 1 priority of the city is the health and safety of its residents. And traffic is always the No. 1 thing on people's minds.

It's wrong for us to allow teenagers in a club atmosphere with adults who are drinking. It's just not a good idea.

This means we are putting this project on the fast track. We have talked about this happening for 15 years, and now we are actually going to make this happen.
