members
of
15
civic
associations
are
working
together
to
envision
the
future
of
lee
highway.
Recently
they
held
a
charrette

neighborhood
visioning
session
that
took
place
over
four
days
and
their
visions
began
to
take
form.

a
look.
C
So
around
three
years
ago,
I
was
working
in
the
Waverly
Hills
Civic
Association
I
was
the
president
of
the
Civic
Association.
We
were
working
on
our
neighborhood
conservation
plan
and
we
started
talking
about
the
future
of
lee
highway
and
so
I
got
together
with
some
neighbors,
and
we
had
a
crazy
idea
that
we
could
replan
lee
highway,
and
so
we
started
interviewing
stakeholders
and
other
neighborhoods
and
we
started
holding
educational
forums
and
the
Jason
civic
associations
and
all
the
civic
associations
along
lee
highway
just
kept
coming.
This.
D
Last
four
days
have
been
a
culmination
of
over
three
years
of
effort
by
citizens
and
civic
associations
within
the
lee
highway
corridor.
It's
almost
an
unprecedented
to
have
this
many
citizens
involved
in
this
kind
of
early
visioning
process.
We've
had
over
a
hundred.
Seventy
280
citizens
come
out
at
the
peak
of
this
4-day
Charette
to
begin
to
establish
a
future
vision
for
the
lee
highway
corridor.
