The Ballard District Council will meet tonight at 7 p.m. at the Ballard Library.

Chairperson Catherine Weatbrook will lead the meeting and the following items are on the agenda:

At 7:15: Update to Seattle’s Shoreline Master Program, Maggie Glowacki, Project Manager – Department of Planning and Development. DPD has released its recommendations to update the plan which was revised last in 1984. The SMP establishes regulations and incentives to protect water quality, marine life, maritime businesses and public access to the water. Whether you live on or near the water, operate a business or own property on our shoreline, or simply enjoy this most valued asset here in Ballard, you will want to know more and have a say about this public policy.
