Springfield Ave.
I've noticed a few mentions on Maplewood Online recently (particularly by DrFalomar) of a blog entry of mine from last August, about how Springfield Ave development wouldn't get us much in the way of new tax revenue. I still believe that's true, but what was not clear from that post was that I believe Springfield Ave ought to be developed more fully for its own sake, not for any questionable increase in tax revenues. And, as they say, a rising tide lifts ALL boats - what's good for Springfield Ave. will be good for all of Maplewood.
