  1. Sorry to be a bit off topic, but does anyone know what's going on with the Jiffy Lube? I noticed that it was just torn down. Was this purchased by the city or is it being developed privately. Thanks!

  2. Based on an update from staff on the Subway and Jiffy Lube site. The Jiffy Lube has been closed for well over a year and Subway moved a few of months ago to the Water Tower Place center. There are plans for a new development there, and it might be a mixed use development with commercial and residential uses with possible plan submittal over the winter.

  3. Off topic. What is going to happen if you fill up your trash can and have extra trash with this new trash automation system? I had to chuckle at the "rental fee" that will be charged to each homeowner on these lovely trash can. We may have to hold taxes at a certain level but it does not stop the city from charging extra in other ways. I get that we are in a budget crisis and obviously will pay the fee but I wonder how many will be surprised by this new item needing to be added to the household budget. I read in the HI that we were supposed to have received last week a card to state or preference on size of trash can...but I have not seen one yet.

  4. The fee for ther cart isn't a rental fee. It's a one-time “Cart Rental Charge" that will be on your 2011 property tax statement. The price is expected to be $47-$57 dollars for one cart.

  5. "I read in the HI that we were supposed to have received last week a card to state or preference on size of trash can...but I have not seen one yet."

    It was a small card and easy to miss. The default choice was the larger 95 gallon cart. The Mayor asked staff to monitor the response rate before ordering the carts.
