Northwest Neighborhood Action Plan
About the Northwest Neighborhood Action Plan
A Neighborhood Action Plan provides an analysis of current conditions and a list of recommended actions to be taken to make improvements or address issues within a neighborhood boundary. The plans are developed through feedback generated from open houses, focus groups, and the neighborhood association. Neighborhood Action Plans were identified as an initiative in EnvisionCR (the City’s Comprehensive Plan), which was adopted in January 2015 following extensive public feedback.
This is the first Neighborhood Action Plan to be completed since the adoption of EnvisionCR. The Northwest Neighborhood Action Plan was adopted by City Council on June 13, 2017, and will provide direction and guidance on future improvements to the Northwest Neighborhood. The Northwest Neighborhood is a 135-block quadrant that resides west of the Cedar River and north of 1st Avenue.

The groups were also asked to provide feedback on neighborhood character and placemaking, land use, connectivity, and streetscapes.
