Vision Newly upgraded apartments, homes, and roadways result in large numbers of residents walking and biking daily and in the evenings to the Village Center and commercial districts. Swales hold new trees and landscaping – not cars. Most front yards have flowers and other landscaping as well as new lighting. Apartment buildings are well-maintained and managed, with new amenities for families. Cars travel at slower speeds, and visitors admire the public art. Property values increase along with homeownership, but affordability programs permit people to stay and enjoy all the improvements. Recommendations CHARACTER & PHYSICAL RECOMMENDATIONS • Install New Themed Street Name Signs: An icon or image on signs can instantly identify a neighborhood promoting pride and community engagement. Also, add the neighborhood name or icon to public facilities in the area. • Create an Incentive Program for Front Yards: Encourage bright porch lights and small light poles in front yards to help improve lighting on sidewalks. • Initiate a Tree Giveaway Program: Encourage residents to come pick up a free tree twice a year to plant in their front yard. Follow up with a neighborhood “House of the Month” whereby winners who show before and afters can “win” benefits from the city such as coupons for city restaurants. • Initiate a ‘Paint, Plant and Pave Program” or Mimic the DeCode Day Concept Previously mentioned: See details on the following page for Paint/Plant/Pave Program (PPP).
