Is this a misunderstanding, a good project gone bad or just plainly a mistake? Grant Street is one of those forgotten pieces and places of Sioux Falls. A neighborhood without the promised neighbors, a mud road instead of the promised paved street all courtesy of poor planning on the part of the city of Sioux Falls.
Grant Street is a forgotten place in need of our help. It should not be an industrial park because of a flying fickled finger of fate put it in a battle to be livable. On January 3, 2017 the Grant Street neighbors banded together to fight a development of storage units instead of the once promised twin homes with a city street.
Fix the street, fix the neighborhood and make it something any of us would be willing to live in. The city of Sioux Falls allowed this problem to exist, now solve it.
Planning and zoning needs a makeover. Look what happened at McKennon Park. Lack of building inspections killed someone. The citation process is unenforceable. Their focus is curb obstructions downtown and tree hugger projects along the river sludgeway. The people deserve professional representation. What we have is stoners who should buy their pot from real growers.
