It's the First of May, and time for River View to pay.

As Jeff noted earlier today, May 1 is much more than International Workers' Day. It's also Options for the Optional Day, as in River View:

It's on page 15 of the Civic Plaza Waterfront Redevelopment (River View) packet, and if you're feeling bored, you can read the whole thing here.

The Redevelopment Commission was to have held a double secret special River View meeting for the review of River View protocols, but the commission's area at the city's web site is not up to date. Commission member (and council person) Kevin Zurschmiede told the newspaper, “I would never agree for a $1,000 option on a million dollar piece of property for a third year.”

If the much altered River View dream ends, will it be time to revive alternative plans for the Waterfront Brewery Commons? Venture capitalists, you know how to reach me.
