The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association
is having a meeting Thurs, Nov. 20 from 6-8 pm at the Boys and Girls Club to
discuss the new development of new neighborhood master plan.
The members of the RNA, including president
David Dopps, say the meeting plans to update and revise the official
neighborhood planning document and they would love to have as much community involvement
as possible in the new master plan.
The official master plan for the
neighborhood will address a wide range of topics including public
infrastructure and safety projects, any park and open space additions,
construction codes, land use zoning and more.
Dopps says, the first step for the
meeting is to address the old plan and bring up anything that should have been
addressed in this plan. Then Dopps says they plan to propose the new plan and
present a few of the example ideas they have constructed.
Dopps says, he would like the
community to be the one to drive what is included on the plan so they have
placed a survey online for the community which can be found in the links below.
Next the RNA says they would like to
address maps of the neighborhood with people to explain some areas of
improvement; for example, any developments in the parks.
Finally, Dopps says they will ask
for questions about the overall project and they will leave opportunity at
another time for specifics once the plan has undergone further development.
The master plan for the Roosevelt
neighborhood was last updated in 2011. Several of the other Bellingham
neighborhoods have also decided to update their plans.
The RNA recently suggested the idea
of a new plan to the city of Bellingham, however, the RNA say the city reported
that it make take some time to get a new plan approved.
The RNA said they want to encourage
as many people as possible from the community to attend the meeting.
The Boys and Girls Club is located
at 1715 Kentucky St. The RNA says refreshments will be served.
The RNA meets every second Tuesday
of the month.
