Description: Once the downtown of Eagan, this part of town has completely disentigrated due to the highway 13 and Cedar Ave bypass and the Mall of America sucking up all the commercial capitol. It's in the process of demolition so I filmed what was left for historical purposes. |

| gusthebeagle ::: Favorites 2007-12-07 18:53:43 Yes, but a lot of long-standing businesses have been FORCED out and not included in the "redevelopment" plans (i.e. the daycare, Mediterranean Cruise Cafe, Ace, Rudy's - Dave @ Rudy's is probably the last honest auto mechanic out there). And yet they can't seem to find a developer to actually follow through w/ the plans. Being only a couple blocks away (as the crow flies), we're just not too happy to see the high-density traffic come to our quiet neighborhood. __________________________________________________ | |
| eluko79 ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 16:55:23 All the businesses started leaving long before any plans for the area were even made. Everyone goes to Cub or Target on Cliff road to do their shopping. Theres no demand for commerce in the Cedarvale area anymore. You have to build what the market demands. With the MOA right across the river, hotels would be perfect for all the tourist dollars. __________________________________________________ | |
| gusthebeagle ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 13:24:28 I live in the Cedar Grove neighborhood. The destruction of the Cedarvale area has destroyed our property values. They've been kicking businesses out left and right, but the "re-development" keeps getting put off. The area wasn't a "ghetto" until they started tearing everything down. The business area needed a facelift, not hotels & transit stations. __________________________________________________ | |

| octaneboy ::: Favorites 2007-11-30 13:19:11 Looks prime for some development that will actuall contribute to the area. 'Downtown Eagan' is a bit of an oxymoron, I think. __________________________________________________ | |

| eluko79 ::: Favorites 2007-11-29 19:42:37 Eagan is actually rebuilding the entire cedar grove neighborhood completely with hotels and a transit station for the MOA. I dont remember any suburbs being demolished though other than the west side flats in Saint Paul back in the 1940's. __________________________________________________ | |
| joh2 ::: Favorites 2007-11-29 19:16:01 Damn and thats a township outside Minneapolis? Do they have anything in mind to replace the buildings - Something I did read a while back was that entire SUBURBS have been demolished in Mpls... __________________________________________________ | |
