What do we need to create neighborhood landscape plans?
Neighborhood-by-neighborhood, block-by-block assessment of the physical features of the neighborhood.
•Surveys of your neighbors
•Volunteers to conduct physical assessments
•Electronic data research
Slide 11

Neighborhood Assessment: Questions
• Where do you have problems with excessive vehicle speed or volume?
• Where are there problems with heavy trucks or industrial vehicles moving through residential areas?
• Where, in residential neighborhoods, are there problems with noise or visual blight from industrial or commercial areas?
• Where do sidewalks exist in your neighborhood and where are they needed?
• Which road crossings seem particularly unsafe or unpleasant?
• Where are there vacant or underutilized parcels that could provide opportunities for parks or community centers?
• What are the most frequent walking destinations for people from your neighborhood?
• What would you identify as major gateways to your neighborhood?
