Can we accelerate the removal of billboards/signage to conform with redevelopment requirements?

Median plantings on NE 85^th Street between 128^th Ave NE and 132^nd Ave NE will help to calm traffic.

PARK Land Swap - review

Additional discussion occurred regarding the value of additional parking places offered by the developer in his proposed construction plan reviewed at the May 15 General Meeting. Initially it was recorded that our consensus was that this additional parking would be of little or no value to park users. It was decided at the board meeting that this consensus was primarily the view of non-NRH neighbors, and we rediscussed the issue and have reversed our opinion in support of additional parking.
