Tonight is the second planning meeting for the new park on 9th Ave NW between NW 70th & NW 73rd.

After listening to ideas from the community during the first meeting, the design team from Site Workshop has created five concepts which they’ll release at tonight’s meeting. They’ll be looking for more community input and direction as they move forward with the design process. The meeting is tonight from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Whittier Elementary (1320 NW 75th St.) At the third meeting on January 28th, 2010, the team will present a preferred design developed from input they get tonight. More information on the park can be found here. The plan is for construction to begin in August 2010 with a completed park in the spring of 2011.
