The proposal, unveiled last fall, has been stuck at the city’s Urban Design Commission over design issues, with the commission on Jan. 24 voting to refer the project to a future meeting. The neighborhood has raised concerns over aesthetics, destruction of historic buildings and the removal of affordable housing, noise and traffic, and parking.

New East Wash hotel proposal would require 4 homes to be demolished or moved. (Wisconsin State Journal, 8/22/2017)
The five-story hotel would include about 50 to 60 units, some commercial space and about 20 parking stalls. But before it can be built, nine residential units in four houses at 502 and 506 E. Washington Ave. and 11 and 7 N. Franklin St. would have to be demolished, raising concerns from some neighborhood residents over the loss of affordable and potentially historic housing.
