Plants and landscaping materials available include yew, bamboo, juniper, pavers, retaining wall systems and decorative concrete edging.

Legislative Rezone Full Council Vote
Location: Seattle City Hall
The Roosevelt Legislative Rezone was voted out of City Council’s land use committee on December 14th.  A final vote of full Council is scheduled for January 30, 2012 (previously it was the 17th).  The rezoning as approved by committee is a mixed bag of details with somewhat greater density than had been recommended by the RNA:  six story buildings will be allowed on the high school blocks instead of four stories.  Other elements, including “green street” designations will provide nice benefits for the community.  
 
Watch the January issue of The Roosie for more information about the rezone, and plan to attend the January 24th RNA meeting for a full presentation.

A little about the Roosevelt Neighborhood as supported by the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association

The Roosevelt Neighborhood is a diverse, eclectic, socially-active community that serves as a transportation and commerce hub for Northeast Seattle. Through thoughtful planning, Roosevelt successfully integrates diverse and dense housing and employment options, mass transit, thriving commercial activity and open space, creating a livable and sustainable neighborhood.

 

The Roosevelt Neighborhood is located between Greater Seattle and Northgate, due East of Greenlake. The neighborhood is bounded to the North by 75th from I-5 to Lake City Way, thence along Lake City Way, to the South by Ravenna Boulevard, to the East by 15th Avenue NE and to the West by 8th Avenue NE.

 

We are proud that we will soon be home to the Roosevelt Northlink Light Rail Station. When the station is complete you will be able to catch a train and find yourself in Downtown Seattle in a mere seven minutes.
