Context Sensitive Design and Green Infrastructure with Vicki Scuri of VS SiteWorks

Join the Broadview Community Council on Tuesday, September 15 at 7 p.m. as it hosts Vicki Scuri to learn about options for positive growth, incorporating green infrastructure into urban design including:

  • Arts planning & site planning & community outreach
  • Pedestrian links and trails
  • Transit, shelters, paving & medians
  • Lighting, roadway, pedestrian & signature streetscapes & roads

“My practice specializes in infrastructure as public place because, infrastructure, best symbolized as the backbone of urban design, is the system upon which society builds its core values, creating meaning, mobility, and connectivity.”

Vicki Scuri has more than 30 years of experience that ranges from large-scale public installations as part of the Downtown Transit Artist Design Team, to her current focus on responsive, collaborative design and Public Art.  In her practice, VSSTITEWORKS, she specializes in infrastructure as public place, as the backbone of urban design.

Seattle is growing, and many people know what they don’t like: lack of sidewalks; micro housing; not enough parks, streets and bridges that are too crowded and in need of repair.  Come learn about options that can inform our discussions about future growth, and provide tools to describe to city leaders what we do want.

Bake Sale & Lemonade Food Bank Fundraiser on Saturday August 8

Posted: August 1, 2015

The granddaughter of Chris and Jane Bihary on N 143rd St. will again this year hold a bake sale on Saturday August 8 to raise funds for the Greenwood Food Bank.  Below is the announcement.

This is the 4th year our granddaughter, Ellie, will be collecting donations for the local Food Bank.  She started this project when she was 5 years old.  Her very good friend, Annabelle, has volunteered again to help with this annual fund raising project.  Since 2012 they have raised and donated over $1,500 in cash, plus additional food donations for the local food bank and those in need.

Both girls have asked, ” Please come and help the less fortunate, and buy some lemonade and homemade baked goods. ” 

Ellie will again be baking goodies with Grandma Jane, while Annabelle and her family are busy baking as well.  They sincerely thank everyone for donating baked goods and/or money to this important cause.   If you cannot join us next Saturday, you can always drop a donation in the mail to our address below.

These two girls are an example of truly loving and caring hearts!  Please forward to your friends and neighbors.

Many Thanks to All,

Chris & Jane Bihary … (206) 331-0265

Our Broadview neighborhood website/blog

by

Updated: July 15, 2015

communityFirst of all we would like to thank everyone for your support of this blog with your membership dues or readership.  We have been up and running since 2010. Everyone that works on this site is a volunteer from our hood. We try to keep our posts relevant and the tabs on the site like Safety and Events updated.

This last year we added PayPal to the site to make it easier to join and pay your Broadview Community Council dues and this year I would like to add Facebook to the site. We are still looking into how easy we could do it. I have put a link to a short SurveyMonkey.  Please take the time to answer a few questions. It’s kind of like how are we doing….

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JCPHRG6

Fall should be very exciting with District elections, the Mayor plans for growth and transportation and of course to hear updates from SPU on final project plans for Broadview.

We look forward to hearing from you and we hope everyone is enjoying the summer.

Warm regards from your neighborhood bloggers
