I agree with Ronda that the proposal at 93rd is not an urban village. It is remote.

She describes Briggs as an example of something that has gone wrong. I wouldn't go that far. Briggs is on a bus line. There are sidewalks throughout the development and it is connected to the surrounding neighborhoods. Yes, Yelm Highway is a problem, but it does not run through the middle of Briggs. The commercial parts of Briggs have not developed and perhaps there is still hope. The land is still vacant for those uses.

Then there are the areas within the city where there is hope for a small collection of commercial. These are not intended to be a complete 'urban village' but potentially provide some convenience for some needs. We have some examples for these such as San Francisco Bakery area.
