Grand Junction’s city planners– full of Boulderites longing to replicate the Pearl Street mall– have long pushed for mixed-use development… but unfortunately tried to mandate it in the wrong market areas– namely the 24 Road corridor. The First & Patterson location, however, is an ideal location to introduce Grand Junction to the concept of mixed-use and its benefits, primarily a reduction in passenger-trips on our increasingly-overloaded local infrastructure. My firm, 3rd Works (see http://www.3rd-Works.com) finds the overwhelming majority of our nationwide retail development projects to be vertical mixed-use projects, and it’s about time Grand Junction finally joined the 21st century with the rest of the nation!
