Hi There, Seattle Neighborhoods! How Ya Doin'?

The Seattle Planning Commission and Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee is soliciting your input on a mysterious creature called a "neighborhood plan." They want to know how they're doing, so the first thing you'll want to tell them is that they've done a fantastic job of keeping the existence of neighborhood plans under wraps. After a series of in-person, town hall meetings failed to gather crowds outnumbering staff, they've decided to try this online thing and it's going like gangbusters. That being the case, they've extended the comment period until August 21, so jump in.

    Don't feel bad, Roosevelt. Neither Montlake or Ravenna exist either.



    And this 'online thing'? How about an actual link in the PDF? This ain't 1996 anymore.



    Although I do have to give them credit for the Capitol Hill map - the oversized asterisk accurately obliterates a large chunk of land....

    But wait, there's more!



    Go to the 'Neighborhood Plan Updates' page, and you'll see on the first line of the actual contents: "Status Reports are posted below." 'Status Reports' and 'below' have links, which... do nothing.



    Yeah, and site is written in ASP, the followup technology has been available for 7 1/2 years. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework). Of course, given the lovely Seattlest technology, I probably shouldn't mention this kind of thing...

    Do you remember if the plan for Roosevelt said anything about it vanishing from city records?



    The "University Community" includes Roosevelt up to 55th...is that you? Seems like they may have agglomerated some 'hoods, because the University Community also includes Ravenna.

    Why are some neighborhoods missing? I live in Roosevelt for example. I know we have a neighborhood plan, are they just doing a certain 24 and more later, or what's the deal?
