Impact analysis
The deferred transportation fee gets paid within two years — nothing is waived, but the city carries repayment risk.
Families get a major entertainment venue on the south side, and the city gains a big banquet space for events.
Council members noted the existing local bowling alley faces new competition, and some worried other developers will demand the same deal.
