Due to the project having been in <br /> development for over 14 years, and having been included in several different public processes it is <br /> difficult to compare it to other processes currently being used. The opportunities for public comment on <br /> the LTD park -and -ride facility at 29th and Amazon Parkway can be summarized as follows: <br /> March/April 1984 - A meeting for requesting citizen input on plans for Amazon Park <br /> was held at Amazon Community Center. Advertising for the meeting specifically <br /> mentioned a bus transfer facility. <br /> 1985 - 1986 - Staff made presentations to different neighborhood groups about TransPlan <br /> prior to its adoption in 1986. TransPlan includes the development of the Amazon <br /> Park and Ride. <br /> Spring 1994 - Meetings were held at Amazon Community Center to gather citizen input <br /> during the update of the Amazon Park Development Plan. Again, the Amazon Park <br /> and Ride was a component of this plan. <br /> Because the planning that lead to the park -and -ride occurred at different occasions, we have constructed <br /> a more detailed chronology of events below. Some of what follows can be documented by drawings and <br /> correspondence on file. Unfortunately, since the earliest proposals for this occurred an estimated 14 or <br /> more years ago, some materials have been lost, or discarded after being considered as having no further <br /> value. In the chronology that follows, specific dates associated with an event indicate records are <br /> presented to document or support a statement. <br />
