Bridge Street Waterfront Redevelopment Project o Bridge Street Concept Plan Submittal Discussion about the status of the Concept Plan. A revised Plan was submitted to the BIDA a few days ago and members have not had a chance to thoroughly review it. However, a few issues were discussed: o B Vear expressed that he is still not satisfied with the level of detail in the project cost accounting. A meeting will be set up between Renaissance and B Vear to answer any questions. o There is a need to discuss with Corporation Counsel, J McNamee the obligations of BIDA and Renaissance if the project does not materialize. o Vice Chairman Zizzi is concerned about the plan phasing approach. He asked if it would make more sense to develop the City-owned parcels first, as they are under control by the City/BIDA/Renaissance. Renaissance will be asked to respond to this. Also a meeting will be set up between Vice Chairman Zizzi, Chairman Tully, Renaissance and the Bonnette Family to gain a better understanding of their willingness to proceed. The Chair and Vice-Chair will report back to the BIDA at the next meeting. o Bridge Street Agreement Amendment The amendment was signed and executed prior to the meeting.
