Building a Northern Community
|
Buildings welcome the sun, windows catch the light and entrances shield against cold drafts. Windows look into the nearest street. Roofs and canopies protect from snow and ice. Landscaping adds color and scatters wind. Strong Healthy Economy |

Strong Healthy Economy
Public investments contribute to the city’s long-term economic health. Commercial and residential district improvements improve walking, biking, landscaping, air and water quality, parks and open space, affordable housing. This sketch comes from 2002 Abbott Town Center planning.

Parks & Open Space___________________________________
 People choose to live here because of our breathtaking views, wilderness parklands, award winning trail system, urban salmon runs, pocket parks andplay spaces near homes
|
Meaningful Public Involvement
___________________________________
 Citizens and business owners feel they have a stake in the community’s future, and public forums where their voices are heard. Important decisions are made in an objective, transparent manner.
|
Transportation Choices
____________________________________
 Buses come every 10-15 minutes on main routes. Streetcars run down on the A-C couplet and Northern Lights Benson. Streets are reconstructed to invite safe walking and biking. |
Affordable Homes Near Jobs____________________________________
More homes are built downtown and in midtown so people can easily
walk to work. Eventually, strip malls are rebuilt as neighborhood
centers; with shops, offices, homes, restaurants and other conveniences.
