'Humeville in the making'
"The mall is going to be coming," Scherman said adding, "at this point that is all I can say."
Mayor Sophia Scherman, Wednesday June 23, 2010
Another Black Friday has come and gone and the Elk Grove Promenade stands still. Construction of the outdoor shopping mall on the city's south side stopped over two-and-a-half years ago.

| Dark days continue for the Elk Grove Promenade |
By this time the shopping center, which was hyoed as a competetor to the Arden Fair Mall and Roseville Galleria, stands as a qucily rotting mass of metal and asphalt.
In the coming months, the City of Elk Grove will put the planning services contract out to bid. The Elk Grove City Council needs to remember this albatross eye-sore hanging around our neck when the contract is awarded.
Never again can we let this happen.

| No cars, no shoppers, no nothing - just broken promises |
 |
| The roads leading into the shopping center are falling apart. |
 |
| 'Humeville' is here. At least the rain has turned the weeds green. |

Hummmm..Seems there might be some problems with renewing the contract with PMC. Our new Planning Director, Taro Echiburu, was a seven year employee of PMC. Does this create crony government, even when innocent decisions are made. He would be involved with the same people who had been his co-workers and it is my understanding he has said "there will not be a conflict of interest". However, that being said, it would seem to not in our best interest to renew the contract with PMC. JMO
Didn't you see the all the Elk Grove shoppers spending all their virtual money at the Elk Grove Promenade Mall on Black Friday? No parking problems, no waiting in lines, just ghosts of shoppers past, present and future!
And real shame here is that this mall makes Elk Grove look like a ghost town. We deserve much better than this and our leaders should have listened when they were told over and over that GGP was too good to be true!
Planners have little to do with these types of decisions. It's all politics, not planning.
