Additional Commentary… 

For the Lineberry Alliance members, the 2030 plan affects our neighborhood, how it could grow and mature -or- fail and die.  More importantly, the plan will determine future growth of our city and all neighborhoods for the next 20 years.

I’ve had a chance to get through the majority of the plan.  I noticed that the Trailwoods/Lineberry Small Area Plan is not part of the new document.  If any of you worked on that previously, you might be concerned.  Even if you didn’t, the existing plan that outlines our neighborhoods plan is not included.  Why?  How do you want to see our neighborhood grow?  More single family homes? More college style apartments?  More convenient & walkable mixed use / commerce?

Time is running out to comment on the plan.  Come to the forum with questions, concerns, and comments.  Learn about the plan.  Join the conversation.

I hope to see you at the citizens forum on Feb 11.  Bring a friend.
