Impact analysis
No cost to the city — the developer reimburses acquisition costs and posts a replenishing escrow under the development agreement.
Future Sherwood Village residents get emergency access; the neighborhood gets sidewalks and improved streets.
About five Fremont Street property owners may lose slivers of land and face fence and shed relocation, though at developer expense.
