OVERVIEW
The Northgate Stakeholders Group was formed as a result of the agreement reached in December 2003 by Mayor Nickels, the Seattle City Council, and members of the Northgate community, and represents a wide range of interests in the revitalization of Northgate.
The first charges for the group are to advise the City on a plan for open space and pedestrian connections, the Coordinated Transportation Investment Plan, the Fifth Avenue NE Streetscape Design, and planning for large developments. Large developments for the Northgate area include the Lorig development, the City's project for open space and a storm water feature to benefit Thornton Creek, King County's transit-oriented project, and expansion of Northgate Mall.
