In this <br /> report, I will highlight significant actions being considered as part of this subarea planning process. <br /> What is Metro Everett? <br /> Metro Everett is a diverse and large area,over one square mile,and includes the downtown business <br /> district, Everett Station area, portions of the Broadway corridor,and surrounding commercial and <br /> residential areas. For a map of Metro Everett,go to https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5731. <br /> Planning for Metro Everett was a commitment the City made to complete a subarea plan for the center <br /> after the 2015 update of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> What has been accomplished so far? <br /> City staff,with some consultant assistance, has been able to: <br /> • Complete an economic market evaluation- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/Docu m e ntCente r/Home/View/6259 <br /> • Create conversation threads(living,working,visiting,getting around, urban design)- <br /> https://eve rettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6458 <br /> • Prepare a livability profile-https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/5833 <br /> • Identified target redevelopment areas- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6260 <br /> • Conduct a community survey—https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6694 <br /> • Hold a public open house-https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6493 and <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6460 <br /> In the past two months, city staff has been working on some exciting actions that would be a catalyst for <br /> the area.These actions include: <br /> • Incentives that may be necessary to"bend the trends" <br /> • Place making at the west end of Hewitt Avenue <br /> • Station planning for light rail in Everett Station area <br /> This is the first opportunity that the public will have to see these draft proposals listed above.Over the <br /> next couple of months,we will get public input before moving the actions further along. <br /> 2 <br />
