They spent so much money they ran out. They hit the municipal debt ceiling limits. And there is a palace and a ramp in the middle of a big empty field where they could have graveled parking space for now. The Oct. 20, 2006 Anoka County Union, p.8A, tells me this is exactly what the non-arrogant responsible Anoka city leadership did, for now. We built a palace and a ramp in the middle of nowhere. And a bus stop. That is it. One place for a bus to come, stop, and go. Two semi-open bus kiosks. That's the transit "hub" we have to show for Council spending decisions.
The whole beginning promise of a focus for Town Center was as it being a transit hub; with Northstar, and a Northstar stop, and shops and restaurants and a hub building with services.
Thousands of high density housing units crammed there infiltrated into the story at a later point - just about as "The Developer will pay for everything," was exiting from City rhetoric.
