The city officially decided to hold this project to our neighborhood standards and it feels like a heavy weight has finally been lifted off our shoulders. I am deeply thankful that you stood with me to protect the character of our streets. We need to stay vigilant to ensure these …
As a supporter of the Dearborn Street Coalition for Livable Neighborhoods, I believe that the Goodwill redevelopment project must be compatible with the surrounding communities and meet Seattle\'s public interest requirements for street vacations.
I want to see a project that:
- fits the scale and character of the businesses in the area
- reflects the unique cultural diversity of surrounding International and Central District neighborhoods
- is a transit-oriented, not automobile-oriented development, thereby resulting in less traffic congestion and better air quality
- doesn\'t threaten small business districts, such as Little Saigon and those in the nearby Central District and Beacon Hill
- provides quality open space
- provides family-wage jobs with healthcare benefits for service and construction workers
- has hiring goals for local residents
- includes low-income and affordable family housing consistent with neighborhood plans
- complies with green building standards

I have been walking these blocks every day and seeing how much this project threatens the character of our neighborhood feels more urgent than ever. My neighbors keep stopping me to talk about their fears for our local businesses and I am taking all of those stories directly to the planning meetings.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that my neighbors share my deep worries about the future of our streets and small businesses. We are proving that our community refuses to be ignored while developers reshape our home without any regard for our history.

Keep our neighborhood walkable! We have enough traffic already and don't need another giant block that ignores the people actually living here.

FIX THE TRAFFIC FIRST. The streets around here are already a nightmare during rush hour. Building more without transit plans is just crazy.

The scale has to match. This will totally wash out the character of the district if they build a monster complex.

Hire locally. If they want to build here they need to give back to the actual neighborhood.
