Select Minute-taker & pass Attendance sheet
7:10 Tim Burgess, candidate for Seattle City Council, will talk about why he is running, explain how he can best represent the interest of the community and take questions.
7:30 Scott Dvorak, Urban Planner, Department of Planning and Development, will discuss the Neighborhood Main Street Mapping Project. The project is considering where pedestrian overlay zones may be appropriate in neighborhood commercial business districts across the city. A pedestrian overlay designation is intended to protect an existing pedestrian-oriented shopping district, or encourage the development of such a district.
7:50 Matt Gasparich, Fremont resident, is trying to get a neighborhood improvement project up off the ground and he is wondering if he could solicit FNC’s support, advice, suggestions, etc. The project is about how to improve and landscape the forlorn intersection of N 46th St and Aurora Ave N.
