Make the "inventory" a pending project -it needs to be funded; otherwise take out this paragraph. If City is not willing to start buying "open space" land - why inventory? Looking ahead to the "evaluative criteria" there is no mention of open space as being an identified need. Make a comment that inventory may help with choice on proposed donations of land.

General 2 Genera 63 General General General 66 General 67 General 68 General I live in Tukwila, near City Hall and wanted to put in my two cents FOR a dog park or some small o leash area for the dog owners of our community. I see it noted in the "html" document that this is being considered for the Crestview, Duwamish or Foster /Lee parks. 1/22/2014 1 hope that an off leash area will come to fruition. It would be nice to have something close to home where we can spend time outdoors with our dogs. Thank you for considering that our furry friends need a safe place to exercise too! 1. Should mention specific deficits in level of service 2. Bring in the term open space - perhaps in Forest and waterways. Duwamish Gardens breaks ground in 2014 and should be included in some form or fashion - future inventory, in progress, etc. ? I like and agree with most all of the goals here! Comment noted - no change made. #1 Priority is Safety and Maintenance - How do we increase safety and security in existing sites. Emphasize the uniqueness of each park and their issues; programs are the parks; look to provide opportunities for neighborhood mtgsBBQ at parks to gather input; how are parks integrated into the neighborhoods. Maintain what we have should be a consideration vs. acquiring new. long -term sustainability from a maintenance standpoint. Noting that the overall needs turned out to be more similar than different (overall vs. resident specific) Resident vs. Non -res /business = not parallel in my mind when it comes to spending $$ (policy statement to be considered) This will be clarified. Site will be added to inventory and map. This is discussed on p, iii 3 -1, resident" statement will be added to Chapter 3. and 4 -6.

There seems to be a lack of making ecosystem /environmental management and ecoliteracy a priority in the Plan. With the number of shoreline and other restoration projects the City has agreed to steward, it seems inherent that meaningful environmental stewardship planning and capacity - building is a priority in the City. It appears Duwamish Hill Preserve is missing from the Riverfront project Site List, and should be there. At first glance it appears that this might be due to the size of the site, however, considering the other parks (Fort Dent, for one) and with Codiga included on the list, it seems that DHP should be. And perhaps Cecil Moses and North Wind's Weir, should they come on line in the TPR Dept. The contiguous element of these sites along the river are a prominent feature of our park system. ill be encouraging to see more shoreline restoration on sites of traditional park use, such as the opportunities at Fort Dent. I am very excited to see the Black River Trail prioritized. This is a critical connection and a long time in the works. A great asset! One question I have is directed at the South annex area. Is there no planned TPR presence in that area, or is it reflected differently in the developer's agreement? This plan offers an opportunity to tell a story including the importance of interconnectivity and the value of maintenance The direct links to the Strategic Plan is something I would like to see in future plans would like to see a big map produced Is there a way to include more guidance about community agriculture at the edges of sites, parking strips, along trails. Including a program to organize or identify some locations Could a Boys and Girls Club or community center in a new location bring programs closer to people Proposed Respo 1/22/2014 :Environmental management discussion will be revisited in Final Plan.
