Union Station Garage: Third time’s a charm?

Plans to fill the ground floor of the Union Station parking garage have hit a major snag; namely, no one wants to move in. For the second straight time, the city’s Request for Proposals for retail tenants in the space garnered no bids. That lack of interest mirrors the initial proposal in early 2008, which was also met with silence. The retail space was originally heralded as a key component of the redevelopment of the garage; one that was supposed to anchor the Canal District, and tie in Union Station to the neighborhood.
