The Walnut Creek City Council voted Tuesday to repeal its May approvals of the Broadway Plaza expansion project ”” set to house a Neiman Marcus store. This means the fate of the planned downtown Neiman store is in the hands of voters when they cast ballots Nov. 3 on Measure I. The council had little choice after a judge on Sept. 1 ordered the council to either place the referendums on the same ballot as Measure I or repeal their approvals. The referendums were based on the council’s approval in May of the Neiman Marcus project.
