Is the rail line "world class" if it has two CVS pharmacies?
In a recent Chronicle column, Nancy Sarnoff noted the latest mega-development along the Main Street light rail line:
More than two years after Metro's light rail line took its maiden voyage, development along the 7.5-mile route has been slow to materialize, some have said. Others have argued that point, explaining that big changes take time.
A lot of the transformation so far has taken place in Midtown, where a prime block of land just sold at the corner of Main and Elgin.
A CVS Pharmacy will be built on the southeast corner, according to Marshall Davidson of Cushman & Wakefield, who was involved in the land sale.
This will be CVS's second store in Midtown.
CVS pharmacies are sprouting up anywhere, so it's not that surprising that another CVS has sprung up to serve all of the development that has taken place in Midtown well to the east of the rail line (near me, for example, in the Elgin/Chenevert area).
The bolded part of Sarnoff's column is strange, though. Development has been slow to materialize along the rail line, and there are a surprisingly large number of eyesores along the route of METRO's flagship "transit backbone" still. But have "others... argued that point" if they contend "big changes take time?" It seems to me they are conceding the point that development has been slow to materialize!
