Neighborhood Livability Action Agenda

In September 2006 the City Council approved the Neighborhood Livability Action Agenda to provide staff with the resources to address emerging neighborhood needs. The Action Agenda is a strategy for addressing three areas of concern frequently identified by residents who contact the city for assistance -- neighborhood character, property maintenance and infrastructure

Neighborhood Character - addresses complaints about the impacts of infill and redevelopment that may compromise or threaten the character of existing single-family neighborhoods.
Property Maintenance or Neighborhood Fitness - responds to some neighborhoods’ concerns about poorly maintained private property and the resulting impacts on livability and property values. This element engages residents in projects and activities to improve the quality and appearance of older neighborhoods recognized as having a disproportionate share of property maintenance issues. Work is continuing in targeted neighborhoods through 2008.

Neighborhood Investment - addresses concerns about the perceived inadequacy of neighborhood infrastructure, particularly pedestrian facilities. The Action Agenda approach seeks to improve the City’s ability to address unmet needs for infrastructure improvements desired by neighborhoods. Work in this are has resulted in a list of community-supported projects which can be considered for future funding opportunities

Work on the Neighborhood Livability Action Agenda will be completed by 2009. Questions and comments can be addressed to Neighborhood Outreach (contact information in the right column of this page).
