I would be all for straightening Laramie. Indifferent about the rest.

The comparisons to Boulder, Lawrence, and Columbia are dumb. What's so bad about having multiple retail/restaurant districts?

seems really nice. I mean, if you're into that sort of thing. trees and landscaping and such

I missed this thread's original run when I was "away." Pretty intense.

Aggieville visions by stud K-State APdesign students.

Important take away: More trees.

Old townies start complaining in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

I think it's safe to say former Manhattan Mayor Bob Strawn (tmcats/Averitas) is not a fan.

The only thing that townie hated more than Aggieville was public transit.

Love all of it, especially the Laramie stuff

These plans would push the 'Ville well into the rarified air of elite college bar/restaurant/shopping districts

Agree.

Also, there is no way that happens.

just copy other successful cities. there's no way some hick architect/planner guys in manhattan, ks are going to come up with better stuff than is already out there.

I think that's what this guy did sys

I liked the way the archidorks duely noted how trashy Bluemont is basically from 11th to Manhattan Avenue with the gas station, Rickel's, Arby's, car wash, surface parking fronting the street and defining the first impression to the district.

At some point when they can densify that edge condition with some multilevel mixed use, retail, living we'll really be cooking with gas.

it's always super cute to see people that don't live in mhk and haven't for ten years comment on it in some way. puppy cuddling w/ kitten.

I really liked this whole plan until I saw that they are proposing to sack chipotle. This plan totally sucks

So is the car wash in aggieville getting torn down for something? I went to get some quarters and all the machines were torn out and there just giants holes where they used to be
