A tragedy. Is his home in one of the planned light rail station redevelopment areast, and if so, will it be preserved?
Last I heard, the city is only changing the zoning limits in the half mile radius from the station at NE 185th and 5th Ave NE. Mr. Pratt's house was located on 1st and 180th, near the edge of that radius. It will be up to who ever owns that property if it will be preserved as a house or re-developed.
Half-mile radius? Guess again, buddy! This hot mess of an upzone is growing by the day:
