Kudos for listening. After a loud public outcry over a proposed new gymnasium on the site of an existing green space on Clinton Avenue that one community member called a “stark box,” St. Joseph’s College told the Times’ Local blog that it was going to reconsider its approach. We’re looking at different sites, different materials, said Nancy Connors, the college’s vice-president for advancement. We want to work with the neighbors. Many people in the area have suggested the school’s parking lot on Vanderbilt Avenue between Dekalb and Willoughby would be a more logical location for the 330-seat facility. Stay tuned.
