North Boulder West TSA Neighbors Field Trip - January 30, 2010 @ 1PM

The West TSA CCG has been meeting about twice per month for the last few months. These meetings have largely been informative, meaning that much of the time has been spent being briefed by OSMP on the current state of the West TSA system. We are now moving into the next phase where we need to bring forward our 'Desired Future Conditions'. For Joe Zamudio and I to best represent the desires of our North Boulder neighbors, we need to hear from you.

Some of you have provided some written or verbal desires to us previously. However, Joe and I (and the other Neighborhood CCG Reps) thought it might be helpful if we could visit with you personally; to have you show us precisely what your neighborhood-related Open Space issues are (trash, parking, congestion, noise, access points, animals, social trails, etc), to see these items from your point of view, and to hear possible solutions that you might be interested to bring forward. We also desire discussion regarding items that you think are working well and that you recommend not changing.

As outlined by the West TSA, our focus is on individuals living north of Canyon, west of Broadway, and south of Linden. So if you live in this general area and have 'desired future conditions' that you would like voiced during the West TSA planning process, please come meet us for an afternoon excursion around our North Boulder Open Space on Saturday January 30, 2010. The plan is to meet at the Centennial Trailhead parking lot on the south side of Mapleton/Sunshine Canyon) at 1 PM.

When: January 30, 2010 (Saturday), 1PM
Where:
Centennial Trailhead on Mapleton/Sunshine Canyon
What to bring: Ideas to share, walking shoes, warm clothes, water, bike
Who:
Anyone, really - but focusing on North Boulder West TSA neighborhoods

Due to the relatively short notice for this invitation, we plan to provide at least one more opportunity like this during this phase of the CCG process (likely either February 20 or 21, weather dependent).

We hope that you'll take the time to come educate us so that we can properly represent your desires in this West TSA planning process. Please pass this information on to your neighbors if you think they'd be interested.

We sincerely look forward talking with you on Saturday.

Regards,

Ned Patton and Joe Zamudio
