#Response DateOther (please specify)
1Mar 1, 2010 4:56 PMcommunity kiosk / bulletin board
2Mar 2, 2010 6:41 AMpark, sports field
3Mar 3, 2010 7:37 AMNote - student services, meeting space are important but are available at the library!
4Mar 3, 2010 2:48 PMcity services office (pay bills and get jobs and such)
5Mar 3, 2010 5:02 PMMonthly or every other Month Flea Market
6Mar 3, 2010 5:06 PMtown square
7Mar 3, 2010 6:52 PMI checked somewhat important for things that are available near wedgwood but should be in Wedgwood when people can't drive any more.
8Mar 4, 2010 1:04 AMNot entirely sure what some of these are, such as "legal clinic."
9Mar 4, 2010 2:24 AMI don't know what you mean by "shelters"; I know that some of the area churches offer services for the elderly, tutoring, etc. I love that we have a place to get glasses and a dentist and physical therapist close by. Are doctors close enough? Maybe a brochure detailing all the business/services in Wedgwood/Meadowbrook/View Ridge would be nice.
10Mar 4, 2010 2:27 AMThese things will require walking address above
11Mar 4, 2010 3:29 AMshelter? as in .... ?
12Mar 4, 2010 1:22 PMNO shelters or so called "homeless" support.
13Mar 4, 2010 8:59 PMBy "Shelters", I assume you mean "Homeless Shelters" and not "Transit Shelters" - please be much more specific!! While there are already a good number of daycare/preschools, there is not enough to satisfy demand! Especially full-day (8-5) preschools for working parents. I know, we recently looked. Not sure what "health clinic" would be as compared to my own general internist/family doctor... Not sure about the legal clinic, wouldn't that mostly appeal to low income residents? Is ther enough demand for that? Does the price of hosing in Wedgwood limit such demand? In this day and age, a community kiosk is the internet. "Push" communications out to people who have stated an interest in receiving such communications.
14Mar 5, 2010 7:16 AMcan't the community meet in the libarary if it wanted to?
15Mar 5, 2010 8:57 AMswimming pool - okay, i am harping on this - but, the wedgwood pools list for those getting in for summer 2010 - the wait has been 12 YEARS - so those who put their names down now probably won't get in for 16 years!
16Mar 5, 2010 7:25 PMWhat do you mean by shelters? Bus shelters? Shelters for teens or the homeless?
17Mar 5, 2010 10:47 PMmaybe a health clinic in rite aid or Safeway
18Mar 6, 2010 4:01 AMWhen you say shelters, do you mean bus shelters or shelters for the housing challenged? If the latter, no. If the former, yes.
19Mar 6, 2010 4:37 AMI'm all for students, but those centers tend to coincide with troubled youth getting together.
20Mar 6, 2010 5:44 PMI would really prefer a community kiosk to posters taped (forever!) to telephone poles.
21Mar 6, 2010 10:34 PMShelters? Homeless shelters?
22Mar 7, 2010 7:35 AMathletic facility
23Mar 8, 2010 1:27 AMCommunity kiosk should be at the hunter tree farm park site; this is the ideal place for a community gathering place; THE third place for the community!
24Mar 8, 2010 4:49 AMwhat kind of shelters? bus shelters or sheltered housing or animal shelters?
25Mar 8, 2010 10:10 PMWe already have great communty meeeting space at the library, don't we?
26Mar 9, 2010 12:11 AMNo Homeless shelters in Wedgwood!
27Mar 9, 2010 3:53 PMHosting of Tent City.
28Mar 9, 2010 7:52 PMdog park
29Mar 10, 2010 4:32 AMThere is a daycare shortage in Seattle, and will continue to be for years
30Mar 10, 2010 6:33 PMI don't have a sense of how to answer a couple of these questions.
31Mar 10, 2010 9:37 PMlots of school centered programs currently exist. keep them in proper place, between parents and school district.
32Mar 10, 2010 10:58 PMwe already have community meeting place - NE library
33Mar 11, 2010 12:23 AMWhen I say it's not important, I might mean "we seem to have enough." I don't know if you mean shelters like bus shelters, or shelters like homeless shelters.
34Mar 11, 2010 1:06 AMfood bank
35Mar 12, 2010 9:39 PMWE have the meadowbrook facility why do we need another?
36Mar 12, 2010 10:09 PMDefinitely farmers market!!! AT Hunter's Tree Lot!!
37Mar 15, 2010 1:34 AMNot sure what you mean by "shelters"
38Mar 15, 2010 8:26 PMFood bank
39Mar 15, 2010 11:41 PMadequate bus shelter on 40th ave ne and ne 82nd st
40Mar 16, 2010 10:03 PMSome of these things I would not use but I think they are important for the community.
41Mar 22, 2010 4:42 PMA park!
42Mar 24, 2010 4:44 AMactivity center is the big one for me - think a multi-use space (with a pool) would be a HUGE draw for the neighborhood
43Mar 24, 2010 6:13 AMAny way we can modify the old JCC to a community use space?
44Mar 24, 2010 2:39 PMI belong to Group Health and go to Northgate clinic
45Mar 27, 2010 5:01 AMAll of those sound terrific.
46Mar 27, 2010 5:01 PMHealth clinic... Naturapathic/Homeopathic
47Mar 29, 2010 5:17 AMlegal clinic, shelters, I don't really have an opinion on
48Mar 30, 2010 5:05 AMAssuming "shelters" means "bus shelters"
49Mar 30, 2010 5:09 AMYes, a full-fledged Senior Center would be a great idea!
50Mar 30, 2010 1:53 PMFruit Trees!
51Mar 30, 2010 7:31 PMBefore you invote more shelters you should investigate the number of half way houses and alternative arrangements are already here. THis neighborhood is saturated compared to other neighborhoods.
52Mar 31, 2010 4:59 AMIF some of these are considered lacking (hence my blanks), look at existing businesses and spaces.
53Mar 31, 2010 6:09 PMA new park, please! Without a central-Wedgwood park, Wedgwood is sort of a sloughed off and cloudy street of vendors, services, retailers, and oddities. With a park, it would definitely be more of a vibrant, identifiable, and unified community. By the way, your category "Shelters" is unclear --homeless shelters? bus shelters? bike shelters?
54Apr 4, 2010 6:05 AMI love the idea of a Farmer's Market! A community meeting space would be nice, if it was used to offer interesting classes, etc.
55Apr 4, 2010 11:12 PMWhat type of shelters?
56Apr 5, 2010 2:08 AM? "shelters" ?
57Apr 7, 2010 5:12 PMNot sure what you mean by shelters; do you mean like the shelters at parks for covered area? or homeless shelter? domestic abuse shelter?
58Apr 8, 2010 7:42 AMbookstore, cafe, some retail, hardware store
59Apr 8, 2010 3:34 PMAs long as HomeStreet & WPChurch allow us to meet there, we don't need more. $! Not sure what you mean by "shelters".
60Apr 8, 2010 8:00 PMthere is a farmer's market at Waldorf school on 110th in summer.
