CHS regular Comrade Bunny (who might reveal her true identity soon?) attended the Capitol Hill Neighborhood Planning Status meeting, and told us about it.
The City is eager to hear from more of us, and has made information and a survey available, to let you participate from the comfort of your couch. From their message:
Do you live in Belltown, Capitol Hill, Eastlake, First Hill or Pike/Pine Upper Queen Anne/Uptown neighborhoods? How is your neighborhood doing? (More Neighborhoods are coming soon…so keep checking back)
We want to hear how your neighborhood has changed and your thoughts about growth, transportation, housing, economic development , basic utilities, neighborhood character, open space and parks, public services, public safety, and other issues. We know not everyone can come to a community meeting so Participate in a VIRTUAL On-Line Meeting NOW and take our questionnaire to make sure your voice is heard.
Watch a brief video, view your neighborhood summary and take the questionnaire!!! http://www.cityofseattle.net/planningcommission/

While you are in the mood for surveys, Sound Transit is also looking for feedback on a vital issue for Capitol Hill–the eventual development of the Capitol Hill Station TOD (post-construction ~2016ish). Sound Transit has assembled the Capitol Hill TOD”analysis”, have held two public forums (notes and pres info from the first are linked from the above link), and currently have an on-line survey seeking feedback on types of residential (i.e. affordable, artist live/work, mixed-income, market rate, etc) and commercial development (i.e. offices, restaurants, retail, etc) as well as thoughts on what you thinks works or doesn’t work in recent developments and ideas for improving future development on this site. Whether this information is implemented in any meaningful way is another matter, but at least give yourself license to complain years from now. While you are at it, come on out for the next public forum, slated for September and focusing on urban design and green space.
