The connectivity and the density are the best features of the Grand Park This plan seems to be very open, but looks, for some reason, to be less There are so very many elderly people at this time and I love the idea of the design. This density of housing makes a lot of sense for Vancouver as so many accessible? I like the connectivity and accessibility of other designs as this one elderly getting to stay in their house or apartment longer. Community, local people are moving here. seems less welcoming and more closed. fresh food sources, close accessible public transportation and wide doorways and automatic doors for folks with walkers would be very welcoming for all ages and give less reason for people to move out. Helping to create a multi- age and multi-use community here would be excellent for Vancouver. Wide sidewalks are so user-friendly. There are many communities that do not even have sidewalks in Vancouver but what I am saying is that if people experience wide open pathways they might realize how social and walker-friendly a truly wide sidewalk or pathway can be. Keeping people fit and walking and needing to drive less would be a great draw for all ages to move to a place like this.

That's why the people in our neighborhood and surrounding areas pay premium pricing for their homes and have property taxes that are some of the highest in Vancouver. I would be VERY upset if the 1500+ of new housing with an unknown percentage of low income, changed the dynamic of our neighborhood. Also, our public schools are already struggling. A new, beautiful school isn't going to change the test scores. My research shows that schools struggle in low income housing areas. Why would we add more for this school to support when it's already struggling?? We are at capacity in this area for low income housing and its impact on the community.

Page 1 of 20 10/6/2018 Web form 2 3 1 No No My primary concern is the density...... all three concepts call for mid-range housing units, approximately 1,800. That's units, not people, so figure about 3 people per unit, give or take - that's well over 5,000 people. This is way too many for the surrounding neighborhoods to absorb. One of the outstanding features of this area is the large lots with quiet neighborhoods. I am not opposed to change, but this number is off the charts. I have not heard anything about increasing schools, managing traffic, parking or noise. I would implore the committee to take another look at the impact on existing neighborhoods.

There needs to be more green areas, some of which are just for beauty and some for children to play in. I've looked at the pictures on line and at the open house on 10/6 and really cannot envisage any of them well enough too choose. I would do much better with 3-dimensional displays. It just seems like there are an awful lot of housing units. Are the new schools being built with enough room for that many kids? 1. Be sure to fix the bike lane from millplain east to MacArthur. 2. Be sure to create a safe pathway from mill plain north to the hill down Devine toward Ft Vancouver high school.

10/6/2018 Web form 3 1 2 I like the density. We need more housing in central Vancouver, not on the edges. Easy access to transit for residents in the new developments.

Feels more secure. 10/6/2018 Web form 2 3 1 Make sure whatever concept is used it is easy and cost effective to maintain. Make sure the materials for walkways may be cleaned easily, there is little need for weeding or watering. Many of our green spaces in Vancouver are not well maintained. I look at the landscaping on N.E.137th Avenue, after new paving and roundabouts. As I walk along that area, I see trees that are not maintained and lots of weeds around the landscaping, which basically makes the streets look awful.

I believe it was a big oversight not to include Blanford yet to want to live there car free. heart of the City. Sorry Blanford Canyon not included? Conyon in the base plan. Opportunities are endless but it need to reach into the community by natural corridors. Keep the theme of the development very Vancouver not the Jetson. Scale of development has to be big to make it economical and give it life. This is not a suburban mall. There are no airports or views to be blocked so go tall. Put a thousand or more of us senior there with walk to everything we need. We can't afford waterfront prices and we like/need to walk. Make me "want" to live there. This is the best way to keep our housing costs affordable and a little help with the homeless, A strong step in keeping community development and maintenance cost down. I could go on.....

There are few landmarks from my childhood that still exist anywhere in Clark Co. None of the schools, hardly any of the roads, even, or the houses I lived in exist anymore. Those places are erased as if they never existed. Even the Academy where I attended is going to suffer the insult of a multi-story modern building installed in the parking lot next to it and---no community input on its design is going to modify that insult by much at all. It is inappropriate next to such an historic building. Would anyone stand for it if that building was erected in the parking lot across from The Grant House?. No. But where's the outrage against it being built in the parking lot next to The Academy?. So--I have little faith that these community inputs have much effect. It's mainly for show and public relations. You will do whatever best suits the development interest of investors and you will do it in the name of improving the neighborhood and the economy and that it's based on community input. . But--what happened to the place where I grew up. I don't see it improving. I see it disappearing. I feel like I moved away and live in some unfamiliar spot far from home. It doesn't seem like home anymore. #3 --the Loop--w/o the high-rises on McArthur Blvd. would leave some hint of what used to be there, I think. Also-- what about the cemetery? How does it figure into this plan. What kind of businesses are you going to have. Are you going to make it a transit corridor like Fourth Plain. I hope not. I don't see green spaces and park-like setting along Fourth Plains rapid transit corridor. Living in rentals along that corridor would be an economic choice rather than for esthetic reasons.

There are no high rise buildings in the area except for the hospital. It looks like you are trying to make this a second downtown area, which I saw just not necessary. Why all the tall apartments lining Mill Plain in all of the plans? It seems like it would make more sense to put the housing on the other end and the businesses on Mill Plain.

MacArthur Blvd, because there are no houses on the other side of the street, its just trees. The high density can step down to lower height, lower density. 2) The Project should coordinate with other land parcel interests, especially the Heights Shopping Mall. The Mall should be completely renovated and a mutually beneficial relationship should be established that would have huge benefits for both. 3) The idea of providing public space is interesting, but should be very carefully engineered. Visitor Parking should be limited, clearly marked, and buffered from private dwellings. A good spot for parking would be near Blandford Drive, where people could walk on the trails that go through Blandford Canyon, for example, while also keeping their vehicle out of the plan area. Too many vehicles in the Plan Area can easily become a problem, especially with high density and many visitors. 5) A significant portion of the project should include one complete, contiguous area of single family residences that transits the entire development, so as to maintain connectedness, respect, continuity, and familiarity with the existing neighborhoods. This is my most important recommendation. These homes could be limited in size of both the house, and the lot they are on. The Driving Range and the West side of Devine Rd might be the best area for this. A suitable, but not excessive buffer strip between separate housing types would be an attractive and useful feature. The high density area lost by including single family homes can be made up in many other areas in Vancouver, not in one large piece, but in many small pieces. For example, the new apartment buildings on 4th Plain. The Heights concept is interesting, but the problem is the location. A downtown location would be more appropriate for this proposed level of density.

That being said it looks All three plans feature way too much surface parking--in 30 years there will be allowing local residents to shop without having to drive, integrated into both commercial/residential. This is the only one of the proposals I might go out of more alive than the Promenade proposal. Lacking the central park it has little much less private car ownership due to many factors. Adding more retail and the other zones. Lack of commercial makes this proposal look sterile for my way to walk visit, being a non-resident. It looks like a farmers market could to attract non-residents. Nothing exciting but nothing offensive. making the office structures taller, but with a smaller ground footprint (Same pedestrians and has zero draw for non-residents. be added to the park with little trauma. square footage) allowing for more commercial and pedestrian spaces would also draw more people in.

I'd like to see Grand Park concept incorporate the "Promenade" walkway into it's design to invite the public into the space from Mill Plain maybe the "Promenade" has a portico to protect visitors in our inclement weather. It would be lovely to see a sculpture garden incorporated--involve the community for public art pieces to be commissioned at the local art institutes. Also, since we have two schools nearby, a Civic Arts Auditorium as the anchor for this mall would elevate and bring some benefactors to the project. It could be a place where the Vancouver Symphony could call home. Another thought is a state-of-the-art "learning center" a satellite library but one that has study rooms and computers and visual cues for learning. I'd like to see the architecture of the place resemble a residential neighborhood so as to be "built=in" to it's surroundings and not commercial looking.

It seems like it will have the most much housing is also being proposed for this concept. Plan is about adding even more housing and not about creating better Green Space and the least traffic. community space. What is the plan for dealing with the amount of traffic that that housing will add? The additional traffic from the apartments being built around 18th Street and around 112th Ave hasn't been fully mitigated by the changes made to those streets or by the new freeway entrance. Is the Heights going to have the same problem? I'm all for more apartments with lower coast! But there's always a limit to how much can be built in a suburb like Vancouver and have it stay a suburb.

The school district definitely didn't plan for such a growth in population. I think the city needs to support the school district in adding space to the schools to accommodate more kids. Otherwise, we'll end up with a neighborhood full of low-income housing and overcrowded, poorly performing schools. That will drive out those currently living in the area and in 15yrs, you'll just have a newer, high-poverty neighborhood with poor social supports and failing schools.

I can not tell what is intended for These materials make it far too difficult to weigh pro's and con's in been-poor safety and livability. Mill Plain is very unpleasant street to walk, MacArthur; it needs to continue to have safe and efficient bike lanes for bike relationship to existing features. For example, MacArthur is a KEY east-west bike, drive due to multi-lane, fast traffic street designs. commuters and others moving at speed (i.e. 20+ mph) as it is a key East-West bike route for people who do daily commutes or as the start to long road connector. No dogs/strollers in the mix please. rides. That means, it needs to continue to provide quality buffered bike lanes for people whose goal is efficient (FAST) and safe cycling to get to work, shopping, or long exercise road rides. I can't tell if some of these proposals turn that roadway into the 'slow bikes, dogs and strollers' type roadway that so many planners love to design. As someone who commutes 4000 miles per year on a bike - on MacArthur- part of Vancouver's ONLY east-west transportation route, I can tell you that retaining this is critical. Other than that, I would say: focus on features that slow car traffic down, that provide vegetation, seating space, and public areas to dine in, read a book, or other leisure activities. Quality grocery stores are completely lacking on the west side pf Vancouver (think Green Zebra or New Seasons).

Page 8 of 20 10/10/2018 Web form 3 this is too costly this part of Vancouver has very little affordable housing, or shelters for the homeless I would like to see a shelter for the home less but smack dab in the middle of this area! Most of the city council in the 80s lived there and did all they could to to push such needs to other neighborhoods, it is time for this to stop, and they should take in their fair share! I am not sure there is any reason to come up with a plan to spend public money for this area except for house which is low cost and affordable. Vancouver has long discriminated against folks who were poor by seeing that they were stuffed in low income neighborhoods. Why spend city money to develop an area which has benefited from it exclusivity, separateness? No should I spend my tax money to help this neighborhood become more "connected" a place where people would be attracted to? I would rather spend my money to help the neighborhoods across 4th plain deal with the influx of low income individual! Not a penny should be spend on these suburban designed areas which now want a sense of place! Most likely this project will go through, while other neighborhoods continue with the impacts stated above! So I guess it does not matter what my opinion is!

Clearly my choices are #2 and #3 designs. I attended the second open house and talked with two of the design our Dubois neighborhood and the balance of the project. architects. I voted with my "three dots" but did not leave comments. We live in the Dubois neighborhood. I agree with the overall "what we've heard so far". My primary concern is the number of housing units proposed. I was told by one architect 1,500 to 1,800 units are proposed. If this is the case, I am concerned with the number of people this will bring to the neighborhoods. Although I am aware of the need for affordable housing, several buildings will multiple dwellings will completely change the nature of our current neighborhood. I would request that fewer housing units be considered. Thank you.....a good process.

10/12/2018 Web form 1 3 2 10/12/2018 Web form 1 All of the concepts seems a little dense for the neighborhood. An they all sort of seem fortress like with tall buildings all around the perimeters although the promenade concept seems less so. The concepts in general seem very inward focused and not very well connected with the rest of the neighborhood. Not sure there would be any reason for me to go in. Traffic is going to be an issue with that many additional housing & office units. But this is already a busy area and very noisy at times with all the loud trucks and motorcycles. This will add to the noise.

It doesn't seem to have a great central park space. Like Central Park NY which Vancouver/PDX doesn't have anything similar to too much in my opinion. There is just something that seems flat with the loop and I just moved into the Vancouver Heights neighborhood back in May of match. I also like the idea of taller more dense buildings given the fairly flat concept. 2018 and it has been a wonderful and surprisingly quiet neighborhood. There and spacious surrounding neighborhoods. are a few nearby restaurants that are walkable but not many retail or entertainment options. The Tower Mall property if done properly could become a second area to draw tourists and folks from Portland and the surrounding county along side the new Vancouver Waterfront. I do hope to see lots of community space where concerts, art shows, or a market could be held. A space that is walkable and draws you through the entire property from restaurants to retail spaces intermixed throughout.

10/13/2018 Web form 1 By far the best plan. Creates more of a town square/village feel. Hope for numerous retail shops, cafe's, coffee shops, restaurants, etc surrounding the square, but with a large health food store more on the perimeter of zone for grocery shoppers going there just for groceries.

It draws you in and really seems to be available to anyone who I have seen pedestrian loops work extremely well and think that this is a nice towards the businesses and residents of the area. It appears closed off to comes the area. The gesture is graceful and seems to really transform the concept. I like how it brings green space all through the development. It seems other people using it just to use it. The plan seems the least interesting on the area.

Still need to add more space to new planned schools though diminished property values. 2 shows promise but still displaces local if planning on adding this much housing. businesses which is short sighted by the planning committee and hopefully they will be sure those businesses have first chance at any retail space.

I like the large too congested, too much residential, hotel in middle seems odd As a adjacent neighborhood member, it is vital that this plan is not too commercial. I do like the large open green space. open green space and space for walking, bike riding congested, traffic is well managed and that commercial options reflect the surrounding neighborhood preferences. I don't want to see the heights lose it's charm - I appreciate the quiet roads, wide open spaces, mature natural areas, access to Portland, and the central location. It's very important that this plan be mindful of the current neighborhood feeling. Thank you

Bike trails need to get across town east and west, getting to the burnt bridge creek trail can be dangerous going down the curve. and no one, except maybe me, ever goes less than 25 miles an hour in a car down or up that hill. some bike riders do not follow traffic rules well so there will need to be a big education project . for those who do follow rules the cars at times don't seem to see you even with lights and flashers!! how do you get to The Fort Vancouver National park, how do you get to Hudson Bay or Fort Vancouver high without bike paths all the way there that do not have to deal with a lot of traffic. if you expect 4,000 + people to stay on the 12 acres your are going to have a lot of caged people getting frustrated , angry, and depressed. Different economic families in 1800 units sounds good, a population increase of what maybe 4 to 5 thousand people I would guess, I doubt you will have employment opportunists for that many families, so expect some driving, once self drive , car share projects increase maybe, but that is 10 to 20 years down the road. Go to Portland on the bus , you can have an hour or longer commute with bus changes if you mange to get good connection timing , get light rail going first!! the pictures show lot of high rises, 5 to 8 stories I am estimating, I assume airport planes will limit how high you can go, and winter time planes would be flying about straight over the new development unless you can get flight path changed. 5 plus story buildings do not go with the current neighborhood architecture. 10/23/2018 Web form 3 2 1 Central open space will be too far away for people living on the edges of the Limited impacts on adjacent established neighborhoods. Lots of green space Distributes the open space more equitably over the development rather than Lack of North orientation arrow on the concept sketches had me confused development. It appears to have less green space overall. and the arched design makes it somewhat equitably available to all residents. concentrating it in one location. More walking paths and trails to encourage about what I was reviewing, particularly since the circulation network sketches healthful activity. People of all ages and abilities can get outside to enhance had a different orientation. I recommend that all designs have the same their well-being and enjoy diverse experiences. alignment and an orientation arrow. Also, I recommend integrating native plants into the green spaces rather than the formal park designs shown in the sketches. I'm also wondering where all the people who will be living there will be parking. Do the designs include parking garages or is it assumed everyone will use public transportation?

10/24/2018 Web form 2 1 3 Like taller buildings with possible lower cost apartments/condos with adjacent park space. 10/24/2018 Web form All three are too dense. The condo type homes don't fit with the current nature of our area. The density will crowd our streets, and the retail will create traffic our streets can't handle. None of these designs feel appropriate, unless the basic motivation is to generate the biggest taxable base for the city. You can sell these as hard as you want, but it's really clear this isn't about anything except money for the city. If you really want to develop, then have single family homes put in on similar size lots as are typical for this area. You won't, though, because it won't generate near the same amount of dollars for the city. What you're planning won't address the homeless issue, or the high home/rental prices that are pushing residents out of the area. Really, really disappointed in the city's approach to this project.

10/24/2018 Web form 3 1 2 Love the park, a distinguishing feature!

Looks like our quiet neighborhoods will be overrun with traffic. Where are the shops and restaurants? I think the grand park looks like only apartment housing, and I think the park would look like a weed patch in no time and isn't people friendly. Don't like that concept at all. When I heard the city bought this land and was going to develop it, I was excited.. now I'm scared my property value will plummet! 10/24/2018 Web form 1 3 2 Too much housing planed for the space. I do not like the idea of having formal walking paths through the cemetery. "Low income housing" should not be a high priority for this project. 10/24/2018 Web form 3 2 1 Don't like lack of development on south edge Too much development on mill plain only Connects all the diverse border neighborhoods into one community. The only The Loop is unique and creative, exciting and inclusive. creative plan amongst the 3 offered. This is by far the best design.

10/24/2018 Web form They are all great designs but NONE of them are really doing justice to the potential of what could be. I'm the founder and executive director of DeafVibe, the longest running tenant of the remaining tenants in the Tower Plaza Mall building. I'm sitting on the property right now as I type these words, and I've been here 9 years. I was impressed with the detail of the three options, but no single feature inside the options stood out as original or unique. This is a huge huge area that has been severely neglected relative to other parts of the city, yet it's location is second to none. Due to the opportunistic nature of having so much space to work with as your "canvas," I was hoping to see something cutting edge. Architectural wow factor, or perhaps a pond or canal with waterfront retail within the "promenade" option, or a water/fire feature like at the Rose Garden venue in Portland. Maybe utilize recycled storage contrainers from the Port of Vancouver in your retail architecture, etc. Also, from a functionality standpoint, I notice Accessibility is not listed anywhere on the objectives list, much less a "priority." Accessibility should be something Vancouver wants to be proud of. There's all kinds of cutting edge accessibility trends that could be emphasized and/or utilized in this project that are relatively inexpensive. Being known for accessibility is something to be proud of and brag about. To not have it on your list at all is something you'll end up being embarassed about. Just my two cents!

It really would be great to incorporate Vancouver's photo provided, I would advise against any "modern" accents. It seems that Mill Plain. Again, though the photo you provided appears to be something uninteresting. It doesn't seem to offer much other than big steel and glass rich history in the architecture... meaning, not modern looking steel & glass "modern" features and architecture become dated quickly. Please utilize that you might find in any city... steel and glass. buildings. buildings that are supposed to represent something from our history, like the Vancouver's fort/frontier history in the design accents! new waterfront project. I am talking more along the lines of the timeless architecture found on Officer's Row, the fort, the Heathman Lodge, some of the old downtown buildings, or heck, even the Mill Shopping Center (Planet Fitness/Parkrose) is nice. For example, if you go to Washington DC neighborhoods, even the new buildings showcase a classic style. Classic architecture ages well. The Vancouver waterfront project popularity will die like the same concept did in Oakland, California because it's artificial. People will always gravitate toward the "old" parts of town, the parts with character and history... and beauty Let's hold on to our history. Can we build something beautiful? Let's make this thing look like it belongs in Vancouver, not any other city/suburban city in the United States. Thank you for reading this far! ...can you tell that I live approximately 9 houses away from this development? ;) Thank you again for your hard work on this project.

Most of the neighbors I have spoken to are worried that all of the designs for this project look mostly like an attempt to pile as many apartments into the redevelopment as possible. This is scary because apartments can be built to look so cheap and would completely drive the character and charm out of the vancouver heights area. PLEASE please don't ruin this beautiful quiet neighborhood. We are a young family and have seen a lot of new younger families moving here. We want to stay, but the apartment stack designs make me fear we won't want to raise our kids near that.

Where are the housing units, the cars, the The designs shown online are VERY different than the large sketches at the can we vote, when we really don't have a clue what the project will look like? parking? two showings at MAC Middle School, which were more from an aerial perspective. Were you intentionally misleading the public then? I do not feel that you have demonstrated "good faith" effort to report responsibly the majority of the feedback given by the neighborhood. The vast majority of the participants wanted a lower density design.(Even though, you had people use "dots" to indicate a favorite design, that by no means implied support for that particular density.) Have you maintained and reviewed all of the "snow cards" submitted? Here, there is no discussion of concerns about parking (where are the cars in any of these sketches?), crime in a higher density, higher poverty area. The 98661 zip code already has a high crime rate compared to the rest of the county. Mill Plain already has areas and times of high traffic volume. What is it going to be like with another 3600 people (based on 1800 units)? I fear this is an attempt to create another "uptown" village in a residential neighborhood. Sadly, the schools in the area have significant poverty and lower test scores. How will increasing an area of higher density, more low income help? I am also concerned that should you build first for low income and unhoused, "affordable" housing then you will find it difficult to attract middle income families for this project. Many neighbors are discouraged because they feel that this is a "done deal" and that the decisions have already been made. Just because the city owns Tower Mall, I hope that there will be an honest attempt to do what is best for this area and not what is just convenient for the city. Please consider thoughtfully and carefully the future for this area and the infrastructure needed to maintain it, including more money for schools, social agencies, building and yard upkeep, traffic, noise abatement, and police. I don't believe that high density housing in one location is the answer. Ideally, it should be spread in pockets equally 10/24/2018 Web form 2 1 3 Not enough green space.

Are the current schools being built adequate to accommodate this new housing? Has there been communication with the schools? Is the parking going to be adequate for the additional residential housing and businesses?

If connectivity is indeed the number one goal, such a development will be in the wrong direction for many city residents.

10/25/2018 Web form All 3 concepts include too much density! as you all should know, higher density brings problems of it's own like traffic, crime and lower property values on nearby existing housing . Also from what I have seen there will not be enough parking for the planned density. Will the schools be able to absorb the increase in density? There is no clear plan on how to deal with these problems. Building multi-story apartments in this area is in no way keeping with existing neighborhood character. And a hotel? You have got to be kidding! Drastically reduce the density planned. Keep multi-story buildings to a minimum. Consider putting in an assisted living complex.

The overall plan turns the Heights into yet another world-class destination like the waterfront. This is an essential eastward expansion of innovative development to spread Vancouver's signature look to eventually create opportunities of projects that will reshape the east side of the city. Suburban development on the east side needs projects like the Grand Park that are close and will inspire similar developments that focus on an urban aesthetic that is functional and sustainable. The Promenade and Loop have critical, isolating flaws that keep the development focused internally instead of inviting the city in. People need to see and feel welcome in this development, and the Grand Park is the only design that truly invites the world in to be a part of what Vancouver is doing right.

It is concerned re all 3 designs about lack of green space given the huge number of always busy. people you expect to move in there. It is as if you are planning a city-center set of blocks, instead of an area inserted into a bunch of homes with generous yards. The contrast is too much, in my opinion. Yes, housing, but not so much and lots more green space.

The top three supposed "priorities" of the project don't even concern housing As was my initial concern, all of these concepts are focused on wedging more residential units and density into an area that doesn't have the infrastructure to support. Any development should minimize and have least density possible, Existing homes and neighborhoods will be severely impacted by increased traffic and crime that is associated with density of this type. Bordering these developments are neighborhoods with some of the highest property values/views, etc. This type of area will likely erode values as the nature of the bordering areas is altered irreparably. It isn't realistic to think everyone will start using public transportation, people want their cars and traffic will become more of a problem. Although, values will be impacted, taxes will continue to go up. Capacity on MacArthur was diminished a couple years ago when it was unilaterally decided to reduce MacArthur to one traffic lane. Mill Plain and MacArthur in this area will become like Mill Plain on the east end - overbuilt without the infrastructure to support. The parks and streets adjacent to the area currently aren't well maintained, there are failed streets - failed, by the city's own admission (Middle Way). Citizens have been asking for sidewalks, yet all the city is interested in is increasing the tax base and creating more density even while not really caring about the impact on existing neighborhoods. We know this already because on infill that was shoved down our throats and has had the exact result that was feared. Density in areas that can't support it, doesn't integrate, and creates traffic and crime that wasn't there before. Making the area more attractive, adding parks and some buildings to update and rejuvenate the area makes sense, but a full-scale development of this scope is burdensome to the existing residents. 10/26/2018 Web form 1 3 2 I like the idea of creating a space in walking distance from my home.

There was no mention of what to do with very interesting. Having the tallest buildings along Mill Plain would allow the not seem quite as exciting as the other two ideas. Site plans for all concepts would be helpful if they were available. I assume stormwater, which I believe is important. greatest solar access. that there would be some shopping opportunities with the Grand Park, with the first emphasis going to serving whatever people would be living there. That would also cut down on traffic to other parts of the Heights area. The Grand Park could be looked on as a self-contained urban village, of course with ties to the rest of the area as needed. The idea is to cut down on unneeded trips by car.

10/26/2018 Web form 2 3 1 I don't like how the hotel is trapped on Mill Plain in the Grand Park plan, along with much of the commercial space. I think the other two plans give the hotel guests better access to the green, open, pedestrian-friendly design elements, rather than noise and traffic. 10/26/2018 Web form 1 3 2 Green space is appealing Looks too big city for the neighborhood. Parking issues Doesn't look as appealing as the green space in Promenade 10/26/2018 Web form 1 2 3 At 1,800 residential units planned along with office, I am very concerned with the impact to the neighborhood. With no easy connection route to Hwy 14, I think the surrounding neighborhoods will be negatively impacted by traffic, and the majority of these neighborhoods do not have sidewalks to allow for a safe sharing of the roads between cars and pedestrians. I think the proposed density is too great for the area.

10/26/2018 Web form 3 1 2 Initially, I liked this one best (I love the walkways & the fact that it doesn't I prefer this option b/c it seems to have the most "green" (natural) space.

One of the best thing about the Heights is ease of vehicular traffic (well, excepting red-lights, but that is another subject!). Compared to, for example, the Mill Plain / 164th St. area. Or, a huge increase of traffic (in previously slow, easy area) on Evergreen Blvd, just E of Blanford... due to the Huge mega- apartment complex.

10/26/2018 Web form 2 1 3 I have some infrastructure concerns. I see no Parking in any of the concept drawings. You have 1800 units without Parking? Also, how are the local streets going to handle the increased traffic, do you plan for a light at Andresen and MacArthur? Keep MacArthur only one lane each way? What has the plan to deal with the increase traffic on Buena vista or Highland and Devine which will be significant. Again only four way stop at Devine and MacArthur. Trafffic need to be looked at carefully.

Page 18 of 20 10/26/2018 Web form Adding 1800 housing units to the Heights area will create a lot of new problems. The access roads to the area won't support that increase in population. Lieser Road is overloaded with traffic from Peace Health Hospital and the surrounding medical offices. Andreson between Evergreen Highway and Highland is a narrow, steep two lane road with a blind curve. Blandford Drive has become increasingly busier and already could use a stoplight at the corner of Blandford and MacArthur and a cement barrier between the car lanes and the walking path. Blandford has a blind curve where drivers can't see walkers coming downhill. The increase in traffic would turn Buena Vista Dr and Highland Dr into drive-through streets to the new urban development. Buena Vista is a two lane street with no sidewalks and often has cars parking on the street making it a one lane street. Cars already travel over the speed limit on Buena Vista Dr because there are no stop signs and only one speed bump on the half mile length of the street. The intersection of Buena Vista and Andreson is on a blind steep curve which already has a number of accidents with the current level of traffic. To protect walkers and cars backing out of their driveways Buena Vista would need more speed bumps and stop signs to slow down a large increase in traffic. When Safeway was located at Tower mall in the early 1990's traffic was much heavier on Buena Vista than it is today because it was used as a drive-through to Tower Mall. Highland Dr also already has heavy traffic due to children being dropped off and picked up from St Joseph Catholic School. I don't think the proposed urban center will have enough onsite stores and jobs to prevent a huge increase in traffic in the Heights neighborhood. I also don't think that the currents bus system in Vancouver is convenient enough to ease the traffic burden significantly. None of the proposed urban development plans have enough park area especially since the Vancouver School District is building new schools on the park area to 10/26/2018 Web form Nowhere on these artists renderings do you list key street names (Mill Plain, MacArthur, Devine) or show key existing properties (McLoughlin Middle School, Marshall Elementary School, the cemetery) — making it nearly impossible to understand how any of this will work in real life.

Certainly it is a real challenge to minimize the transformation of Devine Road impacts to the quiet and calming character of the neighborhoods and generally less stressful and slower pace of living that contributes to a desirable quality of life in this area today. The increased volume of car traffic alone is problematic and presents many challenges. I travel east and west along MacArthur and St Helens and north and south on Andresen often. The added traffic volume too Andresen, Liser and MacArthur will increase significantly. Among the many traffic challenges, I would like to suggest that you consider improving the access from the east, the present 4-way stop intersection of Liser-MacArfthur-St Helens where a lot of traffic coming and going to Interstate 14 already occurs and likely will increase significantly turning on to MacArthur to access the Heights District Development area. Possibly the volume at this intersection would qualify for consideration of reconfiguration to a round-about that could improve traffic flow at this choke point?

It needs to be a combination of trees and open space, including a children's area - perhaps a splash pad too. I like the promenade because of the visibility and it seems safer. As an adjacent neighbor, I like the scale much better.
