About 20 neighborhood people came for a very civic conversation about the homeless park the city has discussed, and the site and Braker and Burnet that has been the focus point of a lot of emotion.
A couple of quick notes:
1. I’ve had further conversation with staff and council aides on this topic, and I at this point am satisfied that the people who need to know this had the sense of going too fast and without discussion get that, and while there is some quibble about whether this was ever going as fast as it appeared to be, I think they are going to try to rebuild the process. So, I suggest that people can take a deep breath here and let’s watch how the process works.
2. We discussed in the meeting the best way that Milwood can be involved at this moment is through the North Burnet Gateway Contact Team. There is another meeting on this topic on Thursday, and I have posted the information below for people interested.
