The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee (NPAC) invite the public to review Seattle’s neighborhood plans in Phinney on July 23.
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 meeting for Ballard, Greenwood/Phinney, Crown Hill, Fremont, Wallingford and Green Lake will be July 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Phinney Neighborhood Center, 6532 Phinney Ave. N.
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.
