| Help Create a Great Neighborhood
|
|
Buildings don't create neighborhoods - people do. People who live, work, recreate, shop, and put their personal stamp on a place. The Mayor's action agenda for South Lake Union provides the physical elements that allow people to create a great neighborhood here. It responds to the 1998 Neighborhood Plan by working to enhance the neighborhood's character and mix of uses. Housing is a critical element of that mix, available iin a diversity of unit sizes and locations. So too is transit, providing workers and residents easy access without a car. Other important elements - green space, a grocery story and other services, streets that encourage walking, and design standards that shape the feel of the neighborhood, are also part of the Mayor's Action Agenda. |
