Toledo City Council offered mostly cheery-eyed praise yesterday for officials from the California-based company looking to transform Swan Creek downtown into a $300 million mixed-use riverwalk development.
At the same time, some councilmen said the proposed agreement to sell city-owned land to Tetra Tech Inc. of Pasadena, Calif., needed more review.
Council likely will vote next week on an agreement negotiated by Mayor Carty Finkbeiner's administration to sell to the company 25 parcels of property, including the Erie Street Market, for $4.2 million.

Questions: Are all these parcels owned by the city? Were any taken by eminent domain? How did the city accumulate these parcels?
