While our Shoreline community baked in the heat of a record-hot summer, a community planning group quietly kept the issue of Point Wells cooking on the front burners with heat turned to high. At Richmond Beach Community Association's September Community Meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 7:30pm, the planning group will dish out the fruits of their efforts. The September menu will feature two main attractions: an update on Point Wells happenings and Shoreline City Council candidates speaking exclusively on the topic of Point Wells.

The community planning group consists of a coalition of residents from the greater Richmond Beach community, including representatives from Richmond Beach Advocates, Save Richmond Beach, Shoreline Coalition for Open Government, plus individual community activists in the Richmond Beach and Innis Arden neighborhoods.

At the September Community Meeting, this group will first update you on a variety of critical Point Wells issues. Following this presentation, Shoreline City Council candidates will speak to specific questions about these issues that we prepared for them in advance of the meeting. Time permitting after the candidates’ comments, we will field questions from the audience.

Note that at Richmond Beach Community Association's October Community Meeting, the Council Candidates will participate at our annual Candidates Forum (Tuesday, Oct. 13, 7:00 p.m.) and community members will have the opportunity to interact with the candidates on a variety of issues, including Point Wells.

Below are the major topics for discussion at the September community meeting:

• Shoreline/BSRE Transportation Corridor Study (TCS)
• Two Access Roads to Point Wells
• Tolling on Richmond Beach Drive
• 90 Foot Maximum Height on Point Wells Buildings
• Status of Draft EIS
• Fiscal Analysis of Annexation Alternatives
• City of Shoreline Leverage to Influence the Traffic and Scale of the Development
