The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee are planning meetings to discuss progress on updating neighborhood plans.

The two citizen groups want people from the community talk about how their neighborhood has changed since its neighborhood plan was adopted more than 10 years ago.

Comments and input at this meeting will help the city complete a status report that will look at how well each neighborhood plan is achieving its goals and strategies.

This first series of meetings will provide an opportunity to learn about the neighborhood plan, the projects that have been implemented, and growth and changes that have occurred since the plan was written in
the late 1990s.

Issues, such as growth, transportation, housing, economic development , basic utilities, neighborhood character, open space and parks, public services, public safety, among other issues, will be explored.

The second meeting series, tentatively scheduled for October, will be an opportunity to review the status report.
