How was the 50/50 Balanced Plan created?
The DMB Saltworks team spent nearly three years asking local residents for their community priorities and suggestions for the site. More than 10,000 people provided input through forums, workshops, small group meetings, emails, reply cards and phone calls. About 20 percent of the community favored an “open space only” plan for the site. The remaining 80 percent favored a broad mix of uses, including: housing, schools, parks and recreation, Bayside access, transit and other uses. The 50/50 Plan is a plan that balances open space and habitat priorities with these other community priorities.
