I was able communicate with the Principal at Trammell Crow responsible for of the Shops at Dakota Crossing. I was informed that the construction of Lowes is still slated to begin by the end of the year with the store opening in the fall of 2014. The developer is also in negotiations with other retailers for the remaining large parcels, however, negotiations are not final and no information could be provided at this time. I will continue to follow-up with the Developer and will post more info as I receive it. As most of you know this has been the story for the past 6 months, however, my questions were well received and the Developer did seem optimistic that it will happen.

The next step in the process is to determine who owns what property and to determine if they are willing to give easements for the Bike Trails. Luckily that’s what Jim specializes in. As for me, I will develop a strategic campaign to get the word out and to let City Officials know that this is something the community wants and for them make it a reality! If you would like to volunteer, give advice or just help out, please email me @ robertlooper3@gmail.com and let me know at what capacity you would like to help. I will post more specifics in the coming days on what the plan is, as well as some graphics to better illustrate what’s being proposed.
I’ll keep you posted.
