Dear Robert Bush,

Thank you to those who have been participating in providing input to our Vision: Slow Triangle work.

During our third workshop on Thursday, July 28, Martine and Eugene presented their findings about Duboce Triangle residents' concerns and dreams and how to address them with creative design solutions. Here are three takeaways, in case you could not participate.

Firstly, Martine and Eugene researched residents' concerns, wishes, and dreams via many different channels: questionnaire surveys, tabling at the Farmers Market, soliciting input via email, one-to-one interviews, review of reports prepared by others such as UC Berkeley graduate student research reports in 2021, our workshop series, including a discussion session and a design charrette. They have been pro-actively approaching residents who cannot or maybe do not naturally partake in our conversations: folks with special needs, ethnic minorities, but also those who are not residents in the Triangle and may be affected by the consequences of our actions. Should you not have had a chance to provide input or know anyone who should be heard, please send us an email at slowtriangle@dtna.org

Secondly, Martine & Eugene presented initial design ideas incorporating feedback and suggestions from neighbors. You can view the presentation on our DTNA website here

Thirdly, we are asking neighbors to provide feedback on the ideas prepared. Please share your comments here. Your input will shape Martine & Eugene's final report to be presented to all of us during our General Meeting on Tuesday, August 9, at 7 pm at the Harvey Milk Center for Recreational Arts.

Let us know if you have questions by sending us a quick note
