The City Planning Commission is in favor of plans to turn a 1931 Works Progress Administration building at 1911 Magazine Street into a reception hall called Il Mercato. Like all projects, there was a bit of neighborhood opposition: "[Some residents] were concerned, they said, that the cooling and ventilation systems on the roof will be too loud near their homes, that an exterior wall will block the view of the historic building, and that guests and delivery trucks will overburden the neighborhood parking situation."
