Sharp eye, Bob.  The human figures in the foreground are another tip off. In the redesign they are relatively taller than in the original design.  In the redesign their height substantiates your argument that it is now a 2-story design.  So we're going to get 2/3 the building, and an ugly nontransparent mega block to boot?  The design needs setback space to make the sidewalks wider, perhaps making the second and upper floors over-hang the sidewalk, allowing for some rain and wind protection too.  Why not a bus shelter built into the building design?  I know you fought long and hard for something more "urban" and less "correctional." Too bad Rocky does not know how to listen.
