Feet First is calling on individuals who live or work in West Seattle to participate in a unique Rolling Community Meeting on Saturday, August 28, 2010 beginning at 10am at the Delridge Neighborhood Development Association 5411 Delridge Way SW.

This meeting will gather input for the kiosk project specifically on the location, artwork and information to be placed on the art pieces. The new signage is intended to encourage people to get around the neighborhood by foot. The Rolling Community Meeting will end and be followed with a no-host lunch in the Alaska Junction neighborhood at 1pm to discuss findings from the meeting.

The Rolling Community Meeting is the last of numerous community meetings held over the past year. A brief overview of the project will be provided by the Feet First Program Coordinator, Max Hepp-Buchanan and local artist, Paul Sorey. Following the presentation, participants will carpool to the seven designated locations for in-depth discussion and understanding of the project area.

“Feet First is known for its unique community engagement techniques. The Rolling Community Meeting provides a great opportunity for people to have an experiential tour of the project area, while providing immediate feedback,” said Lisa Quinn, Feet First Executive Director.

Funded through a $99,000 grant from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, this project will establish the first kiosk and
wayfinding system for West Seattle neighborhood. The project will be completed by October 2010 and complements the Neighborhood on Foot Trails Map created by Feet First in 2008.

For more information about or to RSVP to participate in this meeting, contact Max Hepp-Buchanan, Program Coordinator at max@feetfirst.info or 206-652-2310.
