Our goals for 2011

 

1. "Room to Live" open space initiative.  We are hoping to influence the City's new open space ordinance to provide strengthened standards of public and private space for neighborhood centers.
2.  Influence the Comprehensive Plan by participating in working groups, especially Land Use Transportation and Urban Design.  We hope to seed policies that will lead to more neighborhood-friendly transit corridors.
3. Continue towards our five-year goal of 100 shade trees planted along Burnet Rd.
4. Continue progress towards our other area open space and connectivity projects. 
5. Inform and educate our neighborhoods on urban planning issues.
 

 

Our strategy

 

Our strategy is to engage neighborhoods, the City of Austin, and property owners in a positive discussion that achieves the goals of all stakeholders.
