Off and on in recent years, mostly in response to development proposals here and there, some have wondered aloud about a “historic district” designation for at least part of The Junction.

Also, again, a reminder that the plan for taller buildings is not new; the area was rezoned more than a few years ago. What’s new now is that it appears some actually are on the verge of being built. Right now, the active plans are for the east side of the south block. There is nothing that I know of, right now, immediately in the works for the north block. Ideas and comments are easy and cheap; someone taking on a vision and pushing for it is hard, but if you are interested in some form of preservation, that is what it would take.
