On her blog today, city council member Sally Bagshaw---once rumored to be a swing vote on a proposal to increase maximum building heights on three blocks across from Roosevelt High School from 40 feet to 65 feet---confirms that she is now firmly "in favor of the 65’ height increase in the “high school blocks." Bagshaw writes:

With the 65’ compromise, we can put development standards in place, and those standards will create setbacks, open space, and the pedestrian friendly community we all want. The Roosevelt neighborhood has referred to these principals time and time again. I want to insure that those values are honored and incorporated, and by increasing the heights in the high school blocks, we have more to work with, literally and figuratively.

Council members, who appear to be leaning toward strongly supporting the taller height limits, are discussing the proposal at the council's land use committee meeting now; watch the meeting live right here.
