<br>
By the way, Paul, I agree there are measures that can be taken to help alleviate traffic congestion when large events end, but would it not be better to take enough time in planning and analysis to minimize the problems through design rather than sending out a special detail every time there is an event?

      <![CDATA[Paulius Maximus - I guess I was thinking that traffic issues and our lack of public transportation would tend to diminish attendance at the new stadium, especially at the beginning when people are going to be looking at the crowd and deciding whether to make investments in the surrounding area or not. <br>

The latest list of possible locations, however, doesn’t include Shockoe Bottom. GRTC’s previous chief executive, John Lewis, proposed building the bus transfer station at Main Street Station in 2009 to create a multi-modal public transit station, linking buses with Amtrak trains.<br>
<br>
Despite initially receiving $12 million in federal grants for the project, Mayor Dwight Jones’ administration nixed the plan.

      <![CDATA[It is sad the way the Shockoe Bottom baseball proposal keeps delaying resolution. I keep going back to when developers tried to intimidate Jennie Dotts about back it in 2004- what a bunch of dishonorable scumbags!

      <![CDATA[Wouldn't it be great to have a flash mob of 9,000 show up one evening at 6P.M. in Shockoe Bottom to shout "We love baseball" and then all try to leave at 6:30? If this happened just once, there would be no more foolish talk about putting a ballpark in Shockoe Bottom.
