Urban Village Community InvestmentIn 2004 the Libraries for All levy created a larger Beacon • Hill Branch Library with expanded collections, facilities and meeting rooms. Working with the community Department of Planning • and Development (DPD) completed North Beacon Hill Design GuidelinesIn preparation for the significant public investment of • Link Light Rail, Station Area Planning between 1999 and 2001 implemented numerous neighborhood plan recommendations concerning station design, related street improvements, and zoning and transit connections.Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has • implemented a number of pedestrian improvements along Beacon Avenue S.and at S. Lander St. SDOT is also working with community members to • design and install new on-street parking regulations around Link Light Rail stations. These plans are designed to prevent commuters from “hide-and-ride” parking on the neighborhood streets once light rail service begins.In 2006, community groups met to facilitate the design • of the S. Lander “Festival Street.” More recently, the Beacon Hill Pedestrians have facilitated workshops focusing on opportunities to create a more walkable community around the Link station. A “Pancake Breakfast” held in October, 2008 was the community’s latest effort to build on their Urban Village Plan.

The Beacon Hill light rail station opens July, 2009. This tunnel station will be about 160 feet under S Lander Street, with an entrance located at the southeast corner of Beacon Avenue S. and S. Lander Street. Sound Transit projects 3,000 daily boardings by 2020.

N O R T H B E A C O N RESIDENTIAL URBAN VILLAGE

North Beacon Hill has a history of neighbor-hood planning. Between 1991 and 1994 the North Beacon Hill Council created the North Beacon Hill Action Plan. Following the adop-tion of the City’s Comprehensive Plan in 1994 and the establishment of a formal neighbor-hood planning process, the community began planning that resulted in the 1999 North Beacon Hill Neighborhood Plan. This plan has two core elements; creating a well-defi ned Urban Village, and rejuvenating Jeff erson Park. The work currently underway focuses on updating the 1999 plan.

Urban Village Vision “North Beacon Hill is a community with a long and unique history characterized by its ethnic and cultural diversity. The committee will work to develop a plan for a well-defi ned Urban Village anchored by a new library and commercial/retail core accessed by effi cient, pedestrian friendly, public transportation.

Furthermore, the Urban Village plan will reinforce existing single family neighborhoods by encouraging and focusing additional growth within the boundaries of the Urban Village while maintaining aff ordable housing alternatives throughout North Beacon Hill. Finally the committee’s plan shall encourage the development and acquisition of additional public open space.”

JEFFERSON PARK VISION Because Jeff erson Park is so large, an estimated 170 acres of land, the vision of the park includes many aspects.

The committee recognizes and embraces the regional nature of the park. The committee Envisions a Jeff erson Park where the local uses are integrated into regional features as well as into specifi cally designed elements that typically serve only the local community.

The committee envisions a park that can be loved. This statement summarizes succinctly the sentiments of many residents that this park is not all it could be. It is not a park that can be loved because its defi ciencies so signifi cantly outweigh its benefi ts. It is not a park that can be loved because its potential has not been realized.

The committee envisions a park that provides improved services and opportunities for all users of the park - current and future. There is not one facility in this park that reaches its full potential for service, operation, maintenance, and contribution to the whole gestalt, impression and impact of this large park. Many key services and use opportunities are missing altogether.

The committee envisions a park that is accessible and used by all members of our community and provides a place to build and celebrate our particularly diverse community on Beacon Hill.

The committee envisions a park that is an environmental enhancement to the neighborhood and the city and provides improved habitat for fl ora and fauna.

The committee envisions a park that is a sanctuary from urban life in a way that only the largest city parks can off er. A place where you can sometimes forget that you are in the City and where the surroundings speak of nature.
