Go to at least ONE meeting if you have the time. Here’s a schedule of when ALL project review meetings will be held in March. http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/event-calendar
You don’t need to only go to a meeting where you live, but you do need to know the neighborhood you are commenting on as a worker, former resident, frequent shopper, mailman, dog walker, whatever.
10 projects per District will be selected for SDOT scoping and community voting. Around 3 or 4 per District will be funded.
There are 28 review committee meetings for Your Voice, Your Choice. (Each District will have 4 review sessions x 7 Districts = 28 meetings.)
Here’s a calendar with times and locations for ALL of these review sessions. http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/event-calendar
SDOT and Parks have already done a quick pass through all 895 submittals and tossed out those they felt were too expensive, too community-process laden, or not on Parks/SDOT property.
So that’s it. Go. There’s a big need for everyday people who understand and care about streets and parks — like you — to join this review.
Sign up so you get maps and project lists in advance, but you don’t have to. You can go to more than one District if you know them well.

Thanks for spending time on this activity. I find it fun and you may too!
