For Main and/or Residential Streets: Planting Strips and Front-Yard Gardens

  • Rather than grass separating sidewalks from the street, this

space can be planted with flowers or even vegetables.

  • When houses are set back far from the road, planting a

garden near the road can make the street feel narrower (traffic calming) and create more of a neighborhood feel. Planted strip in Seattle, Washington Front-yard garden in Seattle, Washington

“Institutional Arrangements” and Information Pathways

Communication about actions, events and investments that can affect and enhance the neighborhood

  • WHO:

– Which organizations have a role in providing information? – Who/what position is the ‘point person’ at each organization? – Who are the neighborhood audiences for different kinds of information?

  • WHERE:

– Where are the right geographic boundaries for information on different kinds of actions, events or investments? – Where are the best places for information exchange and gatherings?

  • WHAT:

– What actions, events and investments should be communicated to - or through - the neighborhood?

  • WHEN:

– How often should different organizations provide information? – Are there ongoing, periodic information needs?

  • HOW:

– What are the best information pathways for different types of communication?

”Text me when you know what’s happening”

Worksheets on Institutional Arrangements/ Information Pathways: Example (ILLUSTRATION ONLY!)

Parks & Recreation

I would like to be notified about…

Bike & ped committee discussions about road crossings on Patchen Road

I would find it most credible or appropriate if the notice came from…and why

A City department or committee, since the City is responsible for roads and traffic

The notice should tell me…

What is being considered and when

The best way to receive this kind of information would be via…

An Email so long as it had a clear subject line

I would probably be most likely to respond via …

Reviewing a map on the City website and providing emailed comments

I would like to hear roughly {HOW OFTEN} about …

Before locations are finalized

My level of interest or action would change if I knew that…

The City was no longer thinking about improved crossings or there had been a rejection

I think that there should be a discussion board … {on-line? Email list? Physical?}

Maybe posted notices at the dog park and Jaycee Park?

The discussion board should be moderated by… {Front porch forum? A resident volunteer?}

Probably n/a for this

Other options to consider are…

Have bike/ped to a walking meeting to look at locations

Airport

  • Noise vs. land use issues: Different communication needs?
  • What is most important to the neighborhood’s quality of life now

that most of the noise land is greenspace?

For consideration:

  • CNAPC Noise Subcommittee will be making substantive recommendations soon
  • Will help with a process for handling issues around landscape maintenance, notification to

neighborhood of operational changes to Airport parking lots

  • Additional option: Expanded geographic notice for consideration of zoning amendments, if

and when any are proposed – City responsibility

  • Additional option: Ongoing, informal discussion opportunity with Airport leadership and

participation by relevant City managers (Monthly coffee at One Flight Up?)

  • Other concepts?

SLIDE 51

51 03.16.2016 RSG

South Burlington Schools

  • Chamberlin School: Long time horizon for closure if that occurs
  • How can the neighborhood be engaged proactively in the School

District’s planning process?

  • What is most important to the neighborhood’s quality of life now, while

the school is operating?

For consideration:

  • Agree with School Board to have the neighborhood represented as a geography in the next

steps of the facilities planning process (i.e. one or more representatives in the process who live in the neighborhood and represent its interests a physical place)

  • Agree to appropriate type, extent of notice to neighborhood for next steps in the facility

planning process

  • Continue partnership around school facility use
  • Other concepts?

52 03.16.2016 RSG

Neighborhood Enhancements: Paths, Trails & Recreation

Path options: Extensions of formal City rec paths, signage “Overland trails”: Providing a network of formal and informal walking connections through the natural areas, neighborhood streets & public spaces

  • Work with City bike/ped committee to define options, process?
  • Path Extension: Would likely need engagement from Airport,

involve use of noise land

  • Overland Trails: Would require effort; might be long-term

process

slide-53
SLIDE 53

53 03.16.2016 RSG

Neighborhood Enhancements: Community Resilience & Social Networks

Concept: Build local networks to provide social resilience for communication, assistance & support Examples: Neighborhood watch; program to check on

  • lder neighbors, shovel walks during snowstorms/ power
  • utages; emergency kits; community newsletter/email list

for ongoing, event-related and emergency information

Questions to consider for the next CNAPC meeting:

  • What are the possible problems, events or emergencies that

could challenge our neighborhood and its residents?

  • What kinds of networks, assistance or responses could provide

support and resilience in these events?

  • What are the bases and strengths of social networks in the

neighborhood?

  • What external resources (in addition to the City) might be able to

be leveraged to address ongoing needs, or emergencies?

  • What institutional arrangements/support are needed to facilitate

these networks?

54 03.16.2016 RSG

Neighborhood Enhancements: Transportation Enhancements

Concepts:

  • Road closures/one ways near Airport
  • Scoping for Airport Drive extension
  • Williston Road, White Street changes

For consideration:

  • If road closures/one-way options are tested out near

the Airport, how should the neighborhood be informed? Direct when/which roads happen, or be informed?

  • If scoping for Airport Drive extension is initiated again,

what type of notice and participation is desirable?

  • How can neighbors best be engaged in anything

related to Williston Road changes or crossings?

slide-55
SLIDE 55

55 03.16.2016 RSG

Neighborhood Enhancements: Visual Enhancements

Concepts:

  • Neighborhood-specific logo using City branding

guidelines

  • Public art competition for green spaces, possibly

including noise land or natural area gateways

  • Intersection art

For consideration:

  • What is level of interest?
  • Neighborhood-specific logo – “passive” option, City directs
  • Public art competition: If City provided seed funding, what

group or organization would propose how to structure and ultimately judge the plan

  • Intersection art: Who would “quarterback” or be point person?

How would determinations be made about colors, design? Who would watch out for condition, maintenance, graffiti?
