In June of 1998 the City of Seattle Neighborhood Planning Office devised this plan for Queen Anne. The detailed long-term plan broke down into seven specific projects including the residential and economic development and sustainability of both the “Uptown Park Neighborhood” of lower Queen Anne and the “Uptown Center” at the top of the hill, as well as several improvements on transportation for and around Queen Anne, including plans for a “dedicated electric trolley bus” at the Counterbalance, the “Queen Anne Bicycle Beltway,” a comprehensive system of bicycle routes that would encircle Queen Anne Hill.

A neighborhood plan status report released in May of this year encourages residents that the plan is well on its way. Steps taken so far? Improvements along Queen Anne Boulevard and sidewalk installation along Wilcox Wall, a historic site along the west side of the neighborhood. “Counterbalance Park: An Urban Oasis,” which was completed in July 2008, and has been home to many neighborhood events, including the resent Night Out party.

And now the Seattle Planning Commission wants your input. They want to know how the residents of Queen Anne feel their neighborhood plan is going, and they’ve devised this online survey to find out. The last day to fill out the questionnaire is tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12.

And as you can see from this graph, Queen Anne residents have not exactly been jumping to take the survey. We’re the brown bar near the top, unlike our Ballard neighbors, who are leading in responses. You can find a link to the survey here to take part in the questionnaire and let Seattle know how you think the Queen Anne neighborhood plan is coming along.
