"We anticipate those will be limited to two to three stories, and the reason for that is to go any taller like four stories, six stories or eight stories, the additional construction design ... you've got to build deeper columns, wider structures, a larger lid, you have to go deeper with the roadway," said Richard Mendoza, director of the city's Transportation and Public Works Department.
"We are going through great expense and design to remove a barrier between downtown and the east side by taking down those elevated roadways. Why would we want to put something back that would create that additional physical barrier after all that investment?" said Richard Mendoza.
