BUSTER SIMPSON // SURVEYOR BUSTER SIMPSON // SURVEYOR FRYE ART MUSEUM 2013 EDITED BY SCOTT LAWRIMORE 6 Foreword 8 Acknowledgments Carol Yinghua Lu 10 A Letter to Buster Simpson Charles Mudede 14 Buster Simpson and a Philosophy of Urban Consciousness Scott Lawrimore 20 The Sky's the Limit 30 Selected Projects 86 Selected Art Master Plans and Proposals Buster Simpson and Scott Lawrimore 88 Rearview Mirror: A Conversation 100 Buster Simpson // Surveyor: Installation Views 118 List of Works 122 Artist Biography 132 Maps and Legends FOREWORD WOODMAN 1974 Seattle 6 In a letter to Buster Simpson published in this volume, renowned Chinese curator and critic Carol Yinghua Lu asks to what extent his practice is dependent on the ideological and social infrastructure of the city and the society in which he works. Her question from afar ruminates on a lack of similar practice in her own country: Is it because China lacks utopian visions associated with the hippie ethos of mid-twentieth-century America? Is it because a utilitarian mentality pervades the social and political context in China? Lu’s meditations on the nature of Buster Simpson’s artistic practice go to the heart of our understanding of his work. Is it utopian? Simpson would suggest it is not: his experience at Woodstock “made me realize that working in a more urban context might be more interesting than this utopian, return-to-nature idea” (p. 91). To understand the nature of Buster Simpson’s practice, we need to accompany him to the underbelly of the city where he has lived and worked for forty years. -

II MODELS OF SUCCESSFUL CITY TOD IMPLEMENTATION III A CITYWIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR PROACTIVE TOD SUPPORT IV ADVANCING SEATTLE TOWARD SUCCESSFUL TOD IMPLEMENTATION V REPORT 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION: VISION AND PROBLEM DEFINITION 1 2.0 SEATTLE’S ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS 5 3.0 TOD ORGANIZATIONAL MODELS AND PRACTICES IN OTHER CITIES 11 4.0 THE TOOLBOX FOR IMPLEMENTING TOD: AVAILABLE TOOLS IN WASHINGTON 19 5.0 ASSESSMENT OF TOD CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES AT THREE STATION AREAS 26 6.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 48 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE STATE OF CITY TOD SUPPORT In recent years the Seattle region has made significant investments in a regional transit system. To leverage this investment, Seattle has focused on developing planning policies to set the stage for transit-oriented development (TOD) across the city. However, the City’s approach to TOD supportive investments has been more reactive and targeted to market feasible areas rather than proactive and coordinated. WHY FOCUS CITY STRATEGY ON TOD? How can the City play a meaningful TOD near stations can create important community, environmental, and role in making TOD happen in a economic benefits by providing new job and housing opportunities; efficient equitable way? land use; and lower energy consumption, particularly in underserved areas. City decisions around zoning changes and public investments in neighborhoods have direct affects on private development decisions that can revitalize neighborhoods. -

2020 Gaps Analysis Executive Summary
2020 GAPS ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A variety of unique transportation gaps exist in North King County, an area that includes the cities of North Seattle, Shoreline, Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and Woodinville. These gaps may be spatial, temporal, institutional, infrastructural, or awareness gaps. Seeing these needs, a community task force supported by the North King County Mobility Coalition formed to understand the region's unique needs better. The purpose of this analysis is to: Understand the mobility challenges in the North King County region for populations with special transportation needs and, in doing so, better coordinate members and service providers to facilitate mobility improvement projects. As a result of this analysis, the North King County Mobility Coalition has identified several prioritized projects and actions for the region. Whether you’re a resident, an elected official, a human service organization, or a private business, a unified voice is required to enact these changes and ensure transportation better serves people throughout North King County. We invite you to join in on these conversations. Accomplishing projects related to the needs identified in this report will result in many benefits for the region and the people our coalition aims to serve. The most prominent recommendations for the North King County Region identified by this report are as follows: ► Directly engage with all North King County cities around transportation issues outlined in this Gaps Analysis and implement actions that will address these issues. ► Increase outreach to underserved communities, especially limited English speakers. ► Alternative services should be as low-barrier as possible with their intake process. -
