At the March 17th meeting, participants used markers to draw and write on several neighborhood maps, identifying preferred neighborhood hubs, and noting other desired neighborhood features. In addition to an aerial view port map (unavailable online, but similar maps can be found at the Port’s website), we used 4 maps from the 2002 planning process (map1, map2, map3, map4) and a mixed use alternative map proposed by the community the following year: mixedusemap2003. (To view, just click on the link/map name, highlighted in blue.)
Below is a list of the identified hubs and notes.
