surrounding pedestrian safety concerns and signage on Blossom Street, and what is
being done about these issues. (There is an ongoing working group looking specifically
at issues on Blossom Street, which meets on the last Tuesday of each month, on the 3 rd
floor of Bartlett; the public is welcome.)
City Councilor Mike Ross suggested that there be a group walk-through of the
area with the people who know it best. It would be a good opportunity for some
participants to get to know the West End Area better. Councilor Ross stated that
the Framework Document being created in this process has the opportunity to be
something, and he welcomed comments on and expressions of interest in the idea of a
neighborhood walk-through.
In response to questions regarding scheduling, Rebecca stated that the team of City
staff and consultants would like the opportunity to respond to the concerns and ideas
expressed and in drafting the planning principles. She noted that this West End Area
process was designed as a community conversation about the development pressures
in the area, and that intent has been met with the series of meetings held since May
2002, and will conclude with the publication of a report this spring.
