The mayor and other Common Council members were falling all over themselves in self congratulatory mode because they had broken ground on a new development at Minerva Place with 14 units that will use a geothermal heating/cooling system. That's good. However, what were they thinking in recent years when they approved THOUSANDS of new housing units that have zero renewable energy systems? No geothermal, no wind, no solar. NOTHING!
These recent developments include The Gramercy (Clayton Park), City Center/Trump Tower, Bank Street Commons, Jefferson Place, Ritz-Carlton, The Avalon. These developments increase traffic enormously. The city did not have the sense to include proper retail to limit needless driving. Residents at Bank Street Commons in particular must drive for almost everything.
