1. CATS needs additional transit funds for more light rail to link all these new apartment complexes, and the city needs to rezone all areas within a 10 minute walk of a light rail stations for multi use to promote growth. We also desperately need the light rail connection from downtown to the airport if the city hopes to move to that next level of international appeal as a destination city for events. Look at the massive development along the blue line that has happened already. Imagine what will be built along the Silver line if we as a city can ever get it built 2. Density doesn't work without public transit access. It just adds more cars to the already congested streets 3. I would be ok with the 650 million for the stadium but there needs to be more penalties for Tapper if he were to leave. Just saying "pay all the outstanding debt to the city" is not enough. I think there should be an additional 20 million dollar per year penalty for pulling the teams out early. Also downtown desperately needs more parking deck space. They should convert at least half the surface parking around the stadium to 5 story parking decks with street level retail/bar/food spaces to really turn the area into a destination similar to the Piedmont row development

Seems like the council has already made up their minds... very frustrating
