Several community members spoke about the consultation process. The first was Tim Jackson. The rest followed the consultant’s introduction of the process.

“Jackson: We want and need for students to stay here and make it their home. Easier to get them to stay than recruit. #RoW #CTC
-
“Jackson: We can’t be prescriptive of what will happen around LRT stations. Community needs to figure that out. #RoW #CTC
-
“Jackson: Founders of UW had an unprecedented intellectual property policy. If you invent it, you own. #RoW #CTC

“Jackson: UW took a leap of faith. They didn’t know exactly what would happen. #CTC planning needs to take similar leap. #RoW #CTC

The consultant leading the project gave an overview of the process being launched.
