Nels Westman, CVRA Board President
Community priorities do change – sometimes over a comparatively short period of time. Hopefully this objective, community-based effort to explore and report on city-wide attitudes will be welcomed as a valuable resource for Capitola’s city leaders.
The CVRA is reaching out to encourage all Capitolans to participate so that the final report is as inclusive as possible. There are several ways to participate. All are detailed on their website www.visioncapitola.com.
You can participate in person at two evening workshops at Jade Street Community Center (4400 Jade Street) on April 20 and 27. VISION CAPITOLA realizes this is a very tight time limit for such an important topic, but they want to insure everyone who wants to speak will have the opportunity to do so. At the end of the first workshop you will be asked to indicate your Top Five picks from the night’s comments. The second workshop will review and prioritize the input from the first meeting.
In the event you cannot attend the workshops or prefer not to speak in person, you can also participate online. An email comment form is available at www.visioncapitola.com. Comments need to be received by 8:00 a.m. on April 23 to be included. Or you can write to Vision Capitola the old fashioned way. Mailing instructions and deadline are available on their website.
We strongly urge you to give the subject some thought and to let VISION CAPITOLA know how you feel.
