--would be nice to be away from the traffic hassle that #3 & 4 would involve

-- Either 2, 3 or 4 are good, central locations near potential future civic center development.

--People already familiar with location & much safer than 1 or 1A

--either sites 2, 3 or 4 would capitalize on the existing "critical mass" of the Ballard core area. The other sites dissipate the core area & force more driving, not contributing as well to the community

--I like the space & location of the current building.

-- Either 2, 3 or 4 are good central locations & easy to reach by walking or bus for many Ballard residents.

--The existing site is good.

-- I prefer existing site because it’s convenient for me. Also, site 4 & 6 are okay.

-- Good location for all people living in this area.

-- Good parking

-- Good 2^nd choice site, 1^st choice US Bank

-- Better site than any other listed but 3^rd choice because of difficult traffic in area & more expensive parking

-- Either 3 or 4 would be good, whatever best meets library facility & financial needs. Both are close to existing library & have less psychological disruption from a move

-- this or the US Bank site would be ok

-- accessible to many people who can combine a visit to the library with other errands, close & within walking distance of my condo (US Bank site good 2^nd choice)

-- sites 3 & 4 are too much of a traffic bottleneck

-- either site 3 or 4 are close enough to the present site so as not to upset routines of library-goers. Both are convenient.

-- best because of parking, not a heavy traffic area. Easy access from all directions.

-- either sites 3 or 4

-- either 3 or 4, with parking

-- central location is important w/room for growth & parking access

-- second choice

-- This would be a good central location for us "old" people & younger ones alike, who like to walk to "downtown" Ballard

-- Far & away the best site. I see no constraints. One can park in one spot & accomplish multiple shopping tasks in addition to going to the library. Also a convenient site for bus & bike riders

-- Plenty of room for parking & new building; good central location

-- Traffic horrid

-- Central location, near bus routes, kitty-corner from new park; room for future expansion

-- Collocation of neighborhood service center & other uses; future expansion space; close to most major bus lines; in the heart of Ballard; contributes to a vibrant pedestrian urban core

-- Good mass transit/pedestrian access

-- Central to core; big site, greenbelt, close to metro transit

-- Parking available, central location

-- Close to new civic center & offers the most room for parking

-- Growth opportunities, central location, close to bus stops

-- Space, good location, safe, room for parking

-- Central location

-- room for expansion. Nearest site to core area of Ballard & proposed civic center.

-- in the core; convenient to most via walking or bus

-- good access, big location, room to expand, next to future park (Bartells would be a good 2^nd choice)

-- better parking, avoids Market Street traffic

-- Boulevard from park to Bergen Place. Larger site for expansion/collocation possibilities.

-- either 3 or 4 are close to post office and are further north of industrial Leary area.

-- large site, central location, north of NW Market Street. Anything south of Market is too difficult to get to with most users residing north of Market.

-- central location

-- large site would allow collocation of library & neighborhood service center (both now funded). The 15,000 sq. ft library program is a suburban model and should not be a 1-story building. Place it on top of library reserve storage, NSC, public toilets, & parking. Please push through the administrative fears of collocations!!

-- the drawback would be the highly congested car traffic area.

-- I like the idea of giving the Library more room than it really needs b/c it’s bound to grow.

-- no negotiating with site owners needed, only one building to demolish, more space for assessed value! The extra space could be a pay parking lot with fees going to the library.

-- great central location; we need Bartells but who needs another bank-- 2 blocks is not too far to walk from bus with kids.

-- central location, large lot, lots of parking available, but what if bank doesn’t want to leave or move--

-- great location, where would parking be--

-- good central location, keep it part of Ballard

-- good location

-- Bartells site is my 2^nd choice

-- it’s central, good parking, large windowed building

-- we need a cohabitation with the Ballard Municipal Center to create a true center for the hub urban village

-- large is good! It sounds as though this site fits very well with the potential civic/neighborhood center. I love this idea. It is important to keep Bartell’s nearby.

-- Centrally located, big site, parking--

-- This site would work. Please don’t force Bartell’s out; it’s nice to have a locally owned pharmacy.

-- This is a good location

-- Centrally located in Ballard with ample parking.

-- Best location w/room for expansion without having to move in the future. Try to combine library with Ballard Civic Center.

-- I like the central location with room for growth. If Bartells remains, it’s a plus for shopping & library stops at the same time.

-- More central to Ballard, bigger site.

-- In the same vicinity as current location. Detrimental to move site to Leary or Russell Streets.

-- Seems to be more space here

-- There is more parking space & it’s off a main street, unlike other choices. However, the intersections @ 57^th & 22^nd & @ 56^th & 22^nd tend to be hazardous.

-- Like its central location. Not as busy as Bartells site, big enough for nice landscaping & central to coffee shops. Library could be anchor site for Ballard to focus upon.

-- No constraints! Excellent location with enough parking & large enough to build the library our area needs. Use all available space, & do not consider short-platting!

-- Great connection to Market @ 22^nd. Site is large enough to allow collocation with civic center.

-- Too congested

-- near center of both "towns" for Ballard.

-- either sites 4,5 or 6 would be fine

-- Too congested

-- either site 5 or 6 would work. Good size lots. Have parking.
