[Tweeters] Sammamish Town Center

[Elizabeth Fuchs via Tweeters]

 This morning, Council members  Pam Stuart and Amy Lam helped me understand
    the reason for the City of Sam considering increasing density in the
town
    center.
    As I understand it, the town center needs more density to support
    businesses and affordable housing.  The council members want to shop and
    have arts facilities and a downtown that closes off the street for
    restaurants and shopping,  Hopefully this is what the citizens of
Sammamish
    want.   Afterwards, I walked the Sammamish Commons Park since  the
    developers have dug and filled in areas on this park.   The birds are on
    the perimeter in the wetland, lots of chickadees, some bewicks wrens, a
    lone sparrow, a couple towhees. even a red-breasted nuthatch!  This is
    riparian habitat that is not enjoyed by many people. The thicket is so
blackberries along edges and people are not allowed to go into it.
38 townhomes are being built.
      Lots of people at the library, Y.  As the population grows, how can
the
    people become more concerned about birds and their habitat?
