Southport’s Rise Sushi and Galleria Liquors could be replaced by a TOD

From Tom Tunney’s office, there has been a proposal for the Rise Sushi and Galleria Liquors location to build a new mixed-used Transit Oriented Development (TOD). The proposal would include 30 apartments with ground-level retail next to the Southport “L” line.

Per the developer, “It is important to note that NONE of our residents will have the ability to secure a 383 Parking permit. Therefore, since this is a transit-oriented development, residents except for the 7 units that will have access to parking spaces will not own a car. This development will not cause residents to park within the neighborhood since they will not be able to secure the required parking permit.”

The Lakeview Chamber of Commerce agrees with building this development as it would help local businesses and the local economy (more people in a dense urban area = more local dollars being spent). You can read more about the benefits of TODs here.

A meeting with the developers will take place at Mystic Celt during the West Lakeview Neighbors meeting on Monday, May 11, 2015 at 7pm. Detailed information can be found here.
