Sacramento Bee: After years of tense neighborhood meetings, more than 140 changes to the proposal and threats of a lawsuit, the Curtis Park Village development project received City Council approval to move forward Tuesday night.
Following another in a long line of contentious hearings on the city's second-largest infill development project, the council voted unanimously to allow developer Paul Petrovich to begin development work on the 72-acre site.
Petrovich, the developer behind the R Street Market in midtown, hopes to complete his ongoing task of removing thousands of cubic yards of toxic soil from the former Union Pacific railyard by next year.
