Here are some photos from the September 16th Seattle Public Schools Capacity Planning Meeting. There were over 500 parents at this meeting from NE cluster neighborhoods. Meeting slides, handout and additional information is here. I will do a separate post on some important things I learned from the meeting.
A group of students from the UW School of Urban Planning will be working with the Pinehurst / Jackson Park neighborhood for a class project this quarter. Their project will involve working with the community to do outreach and start discussions on the Jackson Park Trail. I will likely meet with them in the next week or so. If you would like to participate in this (whether a small or larger way – either is good), let me know and I will include you. We are so fortunate to have these students to work with and I think it can be a valuable exercise for all of us. Update: Cascade Bicycle Club has all the volunteers for this that they need. As part of the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are enlisting the support of volunteers and other organizations, like FeetFirst and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington, to benchmark the numbers of people bicycling and walking on paths, bike lanes, sidewalks, and other facilities across the state on September 30th, October 1st, and October 2nd, 2008. To volunteer to help with the count and to learn more go this web site. The Seattle PI announced that federal funds are being made available for new public housing in Lake City The Seattle Housing Authority will get nearly $10.5 million to revitalize the Lake City public housing development. The project will replace 16 townhouses with 103 units, including 51 public housing rental units, 35 low-income rentals, five affordable for-sale homes and 12 market-rate units. Of these, 32 units will be off site. The funding will also go to 113 public housing rental units at Lake City House, a high-rise building for seniors and persons with disabilities. The full article is here. Monday, October 13, 2008 Meeting with Bruce Lorig and Kim Orr from Lorig & Associates, Diane Sugimura, Director of Seattle Planning and Development, Ron English, Director of Property Management, Seattle Public Schools, and the Director of Seattle Parks and Recreation Property Management to further discuss alternatives and options for development at the old Lake City School site on 26th Ave NE & NE 125th Street, and to better understand the constraints on the project. The meeting is sponsored by the Greater Lake City Community Council. See previous blog posts on this project here. Michael Oxman contacted DPD about the tree cutting on 5th Ave NE last weekend. DPD is planing to seek penalties and possible restoration for the trees removed. Here is the DPD response. Thank you to Michael for his efforts on this and for sharing the response with the community.: Dear Mr. Oxman, Thank you for notifying the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) of the tree cutting issues at 12301 5th Avenue NE. Although the applicant had a permit application under review for this site, a permit has not been issued. Current regulations prohibit the removal of trees over 6-inches in diameter on undeveloped lots unless a building permit has been issued allowing removal of specific trees. In coordination with City Arborists, DPD issued a Stop-Work Order on Monday. Unfortunately, it appears many of the trees may have been removed over the weekend. Our enforcement staff will be following up on this issue to prevent this from occurring on the applicant’s adjacent parcels to the north. In addition to the Stop-Work Order, we will be seeking a civil penalty in an amount equal to the appraised value of the trees removed and may require a restoration plan as a result of this action. If you happen to notice an illegal action such as this in the future, please call our complaint line at 615-0808. DPD enforcement staff are able to respond to these issues expeditiously when notified. Thank you for your continued interest in tree regulations and alerting us of this issue. Bryan Stevens |
