Neighborhood Plan Survey Reminder: August 12 deadline

The Seattle Planning Commission and Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee want your feedback about the current status of your neighborhood plan and the changes that have taken place since the plan was adopted.

In brief:

• City had in-person meetings to gather neighborhood plan info (see Comrade Bunny's report)
• they now have an online survey to gather more of that information. Do it by the 12th! See this CD News link.
• Here are some links to background information.
• They've agreed to have another in-person meeting for the Central Area and will welcome Capitol Hill and Pike-Pine representatives. Place and date (before Sept. 10) to be determined.

I encourage you all to fill out the survey and to come to the meeting.

A neighbor reports:

The virtual meeting deal is picking up steam. The Planning commission got a big bunch from Ballard, and last count was over 450 citywide (compared to just under 300 at the actual meetings). What this means is that the City will have more to work with from the neighborhoods that speak up and may pay more attention to them. If you haven't yet, fill out the questionnaire.

Editor's note: CHS has included a practice survey to get you in the mood. Got to believe it's getting better?
