Local activist urges ecologically centered open space, calls housing section weak
Summary
Sari Stuber of Transition Town Greater Media told the council the draft plan's open-space section emphasizes active recreation over ecological function and described the housing recommendations as weak and lacking innovative approaches to affordability.
Sari Stuber, speaking for Transition Town Greater Media, said she reviewed the draft plan and urged the council to treat open space primarily as ecological habitat and to make that a clearer priority in the plan's open-space section.
"The open space section, it seemed to be focused on active recreational use of our open spaces and I just wanted to make sure that the idea of having open space be primarily ecologically centered and that was part of the plan," Stuber said. She also said the housing section was "a little weak" and asked for more innovative affordable-housing strategies. Her remarks were recorded during the public-comment portion of the Vision 2035 hearing; the minutes do not record council responses or specific follow-up actions.
