Alley Allies ProjectMill Street Planning Group (PSU). A project to understand the potential of

transforming these local alleys into active, vibrant spaces. Focusing on Foster-Powell, Mount Scott-

Arleta, Lents neighborhoods. Have passed out surveys. Are at beginning stages of talking with

people/making introductions. Looking for hosting coffee groups at homes of people who live on alleys todiscuss whats needed. Coordinating with PBOT to gain encroachment permits to get access to alleys that

dont have easy access. Project is running from now till June. Trying to create different site plan options

(gardens? Drive-thru? Walk-thru?). Seewww.millstreetplanning.com.

Erika - MSA Survey Results ReportDelivered about 1000 surveys. Got about 200 responses. Most

people get information about the neighborhood from the blog, by mouth and our Facebook page.Concerns: safety, economic development, access to healthy food, neighborhood appearance. What wouldimprove our quality of life? Sustainability features, community gardens, storm water solutions, access to

healthy food. Green Zebra (small grocery) coming into Woodstock. Some other grocery stores closing

(Powell and 82nd

). Would we like to consider having community/neighborhood mtgs around thecommunity? Separate board and public mtgs? Meet neighbors and encourage involvement by creating

some variety in our meeting format? Eg. have a quarterly mtg that has more of a social emphasis? Bring

in a speaker? Erika will create a schedule and look for a place (Bob White theatre?)

SEUL (Southeast Uplift)Scott Vala: Topics of last mtg. were: new website development, annual fiscal

sponsorship of neighborhoods. They will be coming up with a list each year of projects that will require

sponsorship. Block partiesSEUL can only approve if there is someone who supervises the party. SEULis no longer wanting to sponsor these. Hoping the city will come up with a method for people to have

block parties and still be insured. With budget cuts, several things are on the chopping block including:

small grants, some communications funding. Arleta Gardens project was approved for fiscal sponsorship

by SEUL.

Nicole - LUST (land use committee): 5 options (see website). Not much analysis on traffic impact yet.

Looking at effect of a 3-lane option.

Arleta Triangle Dig n Dish coming up (see date on agenda)
