A few months ago, they announced plans to finally build a supermarket with housing on top at this location (which neighborhood residents were thrilled about as Ocean Avenue lacks a basic grocery store). I could be mistaken as they are planning on redeveloping the Kragen site next door as well. If they plan to reroute busses onto Phelan behind the old firehouse, are they abandoning the idea of future bike lanes on Phelan? Sad if they spend $9 million on a study and still forget to plan for anything related to bike infrastructure.
