Greenway. Nonetheless, city codes and policies are promoting it, and it is coming. Further, I see that there are <br />significant problems in our <br />existing neighborhood pattern and fabric, and especially how they have led to a neighborhood lacking in core <br />services and vitality and too <br />dependent on the automobile. And I see that in general, the inf ll that is coming seems to be exacerbating the <br />situation by adding a hodge-podge <br />of different layouts and styles, cheaply built and shoe-homed in, instead-of quality forms that contribute to an <br />attractive, cohesive, stable <br />neighborhood. <br />If we want stronger protections for the Greenway, we'd better get to work on the other plans and policy changes <br />needed to make that happen. <br />And we need to update our neighborhood refinement plan, including a vision for how our residential and <br />commercial zones can redevelop and <br />evolve in a more attractive and functional way. In the meantime, the proposed OMC complex is an innovative <br />proposal that offers more <br />positives to our neighborhood than many of the other infill projects I've seen. At the least, it offers an example <br />we might learn from as we <br />try to identify new development forms that can contribute to malting our.neighborhood a better place to live. <br />Of course OMC needs to meet development codes, and I hope Oaldeigh neighbors and the OMC group will be <br />able to work together to negotiate <br />additional changes so that the neighborhood can feel comfortable with what is proposed" <br />Thank you, <br />Joan Connolly <br />_ 3 . <br />916 <br />
