The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee (NPAC) invite the public to review Seattle’s neighborhood plans in West Seattle on July 28.
The two citizen groups want to hear the public’s thoughts about how well the city's 24 Neighborhood Plans are responding to issues such as growth, transportation, housing, economic development, basic utilities, neighborhood character, open space and parks, public services, public safety, and other issues.
The West Seattle meeting will be held on July 28, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Delridge Community Center Gym, 4501 Delridge Way S.W.
This first series of meetings will provide an opportunity to learn about specific neighborhood plans, neighborhood projects that have been implemented, and growth and changes that have occurred since the plans were written in the late 1990s. The Planning Commission and NPAC are also looking for the community’s perspective on how the neighborhoods have changed since adopting neighborhood plans in the late 1990s.
Those comments and input will help the city prepare a status report for each of the 24 neighborhoods that will look at how well plans are achieving their goals and strategies. A second series of meetings, tentatively scheduled for October, will provide an opportunity to review the status reports prepared by the city.
Current drafts of the reports will be available at the first round of meetings and online.
