We published first word of this on June 8th. But it’s too important to not mention again, since the city’s sending notices around again today. The “Neighborhood Plan Status Check” meeting for West Seattle is July 28th. The plans (find them here), written a decade ago with community involvement, outline not what your neighborhood looks like now so much as what it will look like in the future. Read on for the meeting explanation/reminder issued today:

Status Check for Seattle’s Neighborhood Plans
Public Meetings Announced to review 24 Neighborhood Plans

Seattle – The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee (NPAC) invite the public to join them to review Seattle’s neighborhood plans. The two citizen groups want to hear the public’s thoughts about how well 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.

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 90’s. 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 90’s.

Those comments and input will help the City of Seattle prepare a status report for each of the 24 neighborhoods that will look at how well neighborhood 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.
