Crossing Over:
A Collaborative Neighborhood Process

In August of 2006 over 30 stakeholders met in a grass-root, collaborative process aimed at resolving problems created by Guemes Island ferry traffic and parking in the 6th Street neighborhood of Anacortes, Washington. This collaboration resulted in important commitments and agreements between ferry users and residents of Anacortes and between both communities and city and county officials.

The Final Stakeholders' Report (below) presents the findings of this two part process and outlines recommendations and action plans developed by the project participants.
