Multiple phases.

So we're in phase one.

You can see on the right side, Tyler Avenue Complete Community is one of two things we're focusing on right now through the summer.

We have an election coming up in November, so there's only so much we can do before then.

But following that, we're going to be doing other phases of zoning work across the city.

And I won't get into the details of it, but if you're interested in this, please stay involved, stay engaged.

We want more people to be active in helping us make decisions on these topics.

I would say Tyler Avenue Complete Community is the one neighborhood specific project right now that we're focusing on.

Each of those phases has an analysis component where we're sort of we're doing our homework, our due diligence, trying to understand the context of place that we're working on.

We're reaching out to community members.

That's why we're here tonight.

This is only one of three ways that we're talking about engaging the community.

One is the survey.

If you haven't taken the survey, please do.

It takes about five minutes.

It's on the website for a project.

There's QR codes when you first enter.

I think we have some printed copies as well.

It's very easy to do on your phone.

It needs a lot.

It's probably the easiest way to participate.

Stakeholder meetings.

We're actually inviting anybody who lives in the neighborhood to reach out to us and do a one-on-one meeting.

It can be very informal.

We want to hear your thoughts on what could be done better in the neighborhood.

Any specific roles you have, your property owner or renter or a business owner.

We want to hear your opinion.

And then we're going to formulate some recommendations.

And ultimately, our goal is to try to put something into a form that legislation that city council can pass.

We can't do anything without the city council approving legislation in terms of land use, our land use regulation.

So this is all about giving the city council advice on what they should do and the decisions they should make.

But this is really why we're here tonight.

Give you a lot of background on the process, but we're here to talk about Tyler Avenue corridor, communities that really depend on this roadway.

I've heard lots of comments about Tyler Avenue.

She's the one who tends to get the complaints first from folks.

This image is just kind of indicative of the challenge of the problem here.

So this is part of the big part of the reason why we wanted to do a project specifically about this neighborhood.

Land use and the streetscape are intimately linked.

If you think about why are fast food restaurants and gas stations on the largest roads in the city that move the most cars, because the design of the roadway, right?

We can design a roadway that's safer that serves the residents a lot better.

The other reason why we're here is because you have a very unusual lot configuration in this neighborhood.

No surprise to most of you.

But you have long deep lots that are found really nowhere else in the city.

And you have some vacant ones.

This is uh in a green, this is probably not the best use of this land, but um I don't need to offend if anybody owns this property here today.

But um, we want these properties to be productive and serve the community, and we have real needs in the city.

So that's the other reason why we're here today.

Um we've done some work to kind of understand how the neighborhoods develop.

I know this is hard to see, but I'm gonna go through some images quickly.

They're all on these boards so you can take a closer look after the presentation.

Um looking at the the neighborhood from 1931 to today, evolving from a farm landscape to a neighborhood.

This is really interesting to see what the school comes in, and um how the homes start to get expanded around the school.

We did a timeline to kind of put that in different perspective to understand the major events that have shaped the neighborhood over time.

We've done some analysis of census data to understand who you are and your neighbors.

There's a 16% vacancy rate in the neighborhood compared to 9% citywide.

That's comparable to the city wide, but I would say it's higher than what we would typically find in a predominantly single family home here.

42% of households are made up of four or more people.

That's much higher than the city average of 17%.

You know, that's a very diverse neighborhood.

We want to appreciate that, and everything we talked about should keep that in mind.
