Letter to the editor: Regarding the proposed development on North Main

I am writing to express dismay at the approval of the vapid, cookie-cutter building proposed for North Main. This building is a boring clone of the other Kleenex box structures sprouting all over Providence. There is absolutely nothing attractive about it — the developers couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to have trees or a relationship with the sidewalk and pedestrians. People are already complaining about the impact on parking, but North Main needs and can easily accommodate more density, especially if it would take advantage of its location to serve multiple transportation modes such as the train and bus station. It’s wide enough for large trees, it has space for local and even small chain stores (Marshalls or TJ Maxx, for example, which exist now only in the suburbs!), it could have wider sidewalks and a dedicated bike lane — and on and on. Despite the acres of frequently empty parking lots, moreover, the west side of the street has a prime location above the Moshassuck River. If you look at the satellite map of the area, that side is totally bereft of any amenities, while the east side has shade, trees, and a variety of different building types.
