Love how you place your twist on things. I did not place full blame on this guy. Would be impossible for me to do so since I do not know the entire story. I was not there for these conversations and people directly involved have not responded here either. So if you want, you can listen to one side and take that side. All I siad was it seems to be a bad situation without any winners here but I don't think the city had a obligation to warn of the location. That would be up to the merchant when doing their research and deciding on opening up a business. C'mon Dan you should know better. Doesn't mean a thing unless it is on paper.

It is not that he was intentionally screwed, or should be babysat by the city. Here was a guy putting his money on the line ONLY after assurances from the city. Even if they were not assurances per se, what happens? Bruno's scooter gets knocked over by kids on bikes. Instead of working to make sure that people are allowed to ride either within resticted hours or a bike lane is made either on the bw or ocean ave, he is told he can't rent his bikes. Okay, ocean was being rebuilt. It's okay now. Give the guy free rent for this season in whole or part. When they opened the casino passageway it was like a dam being opened. People came from the south right onto the bw. Many on bikes. It could have been worked out in a way that was safe for bikes and pedestrians. But what happens? Another person who invested in AP walks away with a sour taste in his mouth. It can't always be everyone else's fault besides the city and Partners. That's how you and Fred have it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo! Mail for Mobile.
