I dunno, but watch for other sneaky tricks to get rid of the bookstore and gun shop - I hope they're watchin in every direction - Stratton can attack anytime/anywhere - and likely WILL.
Perhaps that is why Mohawk Office closed. Could the location of the Bethesda House been a part of that decision to close? Well, perhaps there wouldn't be lucrative businesses that actually want to move near an ADULT SEX STORE! I wouldn't!
But as usual, there was no planning or vision for the future. They should have taken the zoning of 'sex stores' into consideration way back when! But now since Stratton and crew have pi**ed off the owner, they will play hardball for sure.

I'm surprised they didn't create a new law prohibiting gun shops and adult businesses from being located 10 miles from a school, playground or daycare.
Bt you have confused Mohawk Office Supply-with Eastern Office Supply. Eastern by the bookstore is remaining open. Mohawk by the new Bethesda House has closed up.

I thought they were to be in an industrial area/industrial park......grandfather clause or is that are industrial zoned???

You're confusing me....isn't that what I said??? In my last post I questioned if perhaps Mohawk Office closed due to the location of the Bethesda house.

Council gets bigger say in project Lead agency in review of $14M Erie Blvd. plan BY MICHAEL LAMENDOLA Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Michael Lamendola at 395-3114 or lamend@dailygazette.com.
The City Council named itself lead agency Monday night over the all-important environmental review of the $14 million Erie Boulevard reconstruction project. As lead agency, the council will decide whether the project could harm the environment, requiring remedies that could drive up costs and create delays. City engineers will work with project designer Clough Harbour to prepare the state environmental quality review, with the goal of completing it by April, said Corporation Counsel L. John Van Norden. State law requires the city to complete a SEQR before beginning the project, Van Norden said. He expects the review to show the project will have little or no effect on the environment. “It will be a Type 2 or unlisted action,” Van Norden said. As part of a SEQR, the public can participate in preparing the draft environmental impact statement, review SEQR documents, provide comments and participate in hearings on the potential effects of the project. Sarah Michener and Sabrina Heilmann, representing Erie Boulevard business owners, told the council members Monday night they support the council becoming lead agency. “We are thrilled the council will be involved in a formative way rather than getting presented with a summary,” Michener said. Erie Boulevard business owners oppose the initial design plan for Erie Boulevard and have proposed alternatives. The initial design, which the city is reconsidering, has a median running down Erie Boulevard between State Street and Interstate 890 with a roundabout in the middle to allow drivers to turn around. That would have made it impossible for southbound drivers to reach several businesses without maneuvering through the I-890 interchange. A new design is under development, expected to take at least until next spring. In other business, the City Council approved a resolution seeking state Legislature approval to make permanent the city’s ability to enter into contracts for tax delinquency liens. Council member Mark Blanchfield said state home rule legislation with other municipalities seeking......................................................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....amp;EntityId=Ar01002

Yet another editorial about the roundabout in Schenectady [Dec. 8 Gazette]! I've heard way too much about the redevelopment of downtown Schenectady. Although the improvements have been notable, I don't think the vision has been broad enough. Anyone who has been to Savannah, San Antonio, New Orleans or Baltimore should be able to recognize how effective waterfront dining and shopping are for redevelopment downtown. What is the element of Schenectady that is best known around the country? It is the Erie Canal, which hasn't existed in downtown for 100 or more years. Rather than discussing widening Erie Boulevard, restoring old diners or building offices, why not restore Schenectady's most important asset? Why not rebuild the canal with walkways, horse-drawn tours, canal rides and downtown eateries and retail shops lining both sides. The potential is infinite. It would make the city a tourist destination and stress the importance of the area as a historical icon. I don't think one letter can adequately outline what is possible, but perhaps it will be a seed for someone with much greater imagination than I.
I would like to note that during the power outage, no traffic lights in the area were working, but those awful traffic circles that nobody likes, or can use, were still working without the power being on. In England and Europe, where there are thousands of them, they work 24/7 and save millions in electrical power and repairs. Think about it.
Duane, if you lived in Schenectady, perhaps you would understand that we're not against a roundabout per se ... it's the poor planning and placement everyone is concerned about.
