We're debating a minor amendment around public space, but after seven years of discussion, the Safeway rezoning for three towers (or MEGAtowers, if you will) is going to PASS.
It continues (with only a few minor exceptions) a long string of pro-supply councils approving these big projects.

#VWFC’s Sam Adekugbe will be out “a couple” of weeks with a quad injury. Likely means he’ll miss the #CanMNT game. Édier Ocampo/Tate Johnson next on the depth chart, but Ocompo is suspended for the #CFMontreal game. (He can play vs. Monterrey.) Sorensen isn’t sure what he’ll do yet. #CanSoccer

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith, listed as questionable with a hamstring, may work out on Sunday to see if he can go.
But sources tell me and Mike Garafolo there is not a lot of optimism that he'll be out there. Philly will leave it open, there just isn't a a ton of positivity.
