The video report about the first phase findings has been posted (22 min). It shows the presentation I made to the Planning Commission on April 22. The complex urban design principles are explained with visually interesting and insightful images generated through an innovative mapping technique called delayering. 
The May 15 edition of the Whidbey News Times (opinion section) has published an article about our use of blogs for engaging the public.
On the morning of May 7th I had another discussion with a community group about this project; this time it was with the Sunrise Rotary group.
Fifteen to twenty Rotary members participated in the discussion with questions and comments ranging from the need for community members to be active in this project; to open space in new subdivisions; and the importance of walkability and trails.
I will be meeting with other interested groups of citizens and businesses throughout this project. If you would like to participate and have me present and/or facilitate a discussion at your business, or organization, please contact me and we can make arrangements
On April 9 I made a presentation about the Subdivision Code project to a group of about 15 local realtors at Koetje Real Estate. The discussion we had covered a range of points about the purpose of this project and community outreach.
Interest for more connectivity between neighborhoods was perhaps the most important urban design issue discussed.
I will be meeting with other interested groups of citizens and businesses throughout this project. If you would like to participate and have me present and/or facilitate a discussion at your business, or organization, please contact me and we can make arrangements.
