The City of Lakewood claims that they want to start a community discussion on Lakewood's Comprehensive Plan, Lakewood 2025. The City keeps claiming this, and then the process gets hijacked by the wealthy and connected and white. Which is why I say "they" instead of "we".
I am especially disturbed that "sustainability" has been defined as things that white people like.
"Moving Forward"
Wednesday, September 18, 5:30-8 pm
Lakewood Cultural Center
470 S. Allison Parkway
Lakewood
Bus: 1, 3, 11, 76
For all my negativity, I do want people to go to these meetings. Withdrawing just empowers people who are already too powerful. We especially need to make planner understand that "sustainability", systems that can be sustained for a long time, means more energy efficient buildings and more buses, trains, bike paths, and sidewalks.
