davis_squareThis week's Zoning Board of Appeals agenda includes a notice that Flatbread and Sacco's Bowl Haven are withdrawing their proposal to add more seats and 7 more bowling lanes in the former Ideal Engine garage building next door.
The proposal has been on the ZBA agenda since June, but has been repeatedly postponed by request of the applicant. I don't know what has caused all of the postponements, and now this withdrawal. I'm disappointed, since this would have improved our neighborhood and creatively reused a large empty building. To my knowledge, the neighborhood has supported the proposal.
If anyone knows more, please post a comment here. In an e-mail to me, Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz alluded to some issues involving the property owner's family, but she did not know any details.
