Over the summer the Neighborhood Planning Commission held meetings in 24 neighborhoods throughout the city to discuss the status of the 10-year-old neighborhood plans and asked community members for feedback through an online neighborhood plan survey.
The City of Seattle Neighborhood Planning Office devised this plan for Queen Anne in June 1998, which included drafts for 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.
In the end 157 Queen Anne residents participated in the survey, and now the city wants to share the results of your feedback with the community in a new round of public meetings (.pdf). The Neighborhood Plan Advisory Committee (NPAC) wrote in a press release,
The Neighborhood Plan Advisory Committee (NPAC) and the Seattle Planning Commission want to report back to you on the trends that emerged so far and to get your help to identify the continuing priorities and new issues that should be emphasized in the final Status Reports and a State of the Neighborhood Report that will be presented to the City Council and Mayor. These reports will contribute to policy decisions including decisions about whether or how to updates neighborhood plans. Your input will also be important as NPAC shapes its recommendations on conducting, prioritizing and funding updates to the neighborhood plans listed below.
The meeting for Queen Anne and Uptown is taking place tomorrow, Tuesday, November 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Seattle Central Community College, located at 1701 Broadway. Belltown, Pike Pine, First Hill, Eastlake, Capitol Hill and the Central Area will also be represented at this meeting. View the original neighborhood plan for Queen Anne here.
