11 A planning process was developed that focused on gathering input from individuals and organizations that have an interest in the Near Northwest. The City and consultant team held a series of meetings and a four-day charrette with neighbors, community mem- bers, and stakeholders. The process allowed discus- sion and exploration of design ideas and concepts for the future vision of the neighborhood. A community presentation & workshop was held in February to help establish a collective vision and to begin conversations about opportunities for the area. The thoughts shared by neighbors, community members, and stakeholders were used as a basis for the four-day charrette process held in March. There were over 400 touchpoints with community members participating throughout the process. Following the charrette, the city staff and consultant team used the input shared throughout the process to give a final presentation of developed concepts in April. Community Presentation & Workshop The project kicked off in February with a presentation & workshop which neighbors and community mem- bers were invited to attend to learn about the upcom- ing process and provide input that would help create a shared vision for the neighborhood. As part of the process, the city staff and consultant team also met with area not-for-profits, neighborhood stakeholders, and city representatives. Over 90 community participants attended the eve- ning presentation & workshop and contributed their input through a series of exercises: 1. Map your neighborhood; 2. Neighborhood vision; 3. Neighborhood amenities; 4. Housing; 5. Vacant Lots; and 6. Infrastructure. In addition to the Community Workshop, a pop-up event was held by city staff during the Near North- west Neighborhood’s annual Chili Supper.

The following is a summary of the thoughts that were shared. Map your neighborhood Participants were asked to write and draw where they go and what they do in the neighborhood. They were asked to share their favorite place(s), what people do for fun, where they go and how (walk, bike, drive), and where they go for walks and why. Participant respons- es, including what was drawn, have been compiled and represented on the participant response map. The top participant responses for favorite places in- cluded The Local Cup, parks (in particular Leeper Park had a number of mentions), the St. Joseph River, and the NNN, Inc. buildings. Responses were put in a word cloud; the more times something was mentioned the larger the place is shown. Top responses to what neighbors do for fun in the neighborhood revolved around walking / running / biking, visiting with neighbors, and going to parks. When asked where they go and where they walk in the neighborhood top responses included the St. Joseph River and Riverside Trail, neighborhood parks, The Local Cup and NNN, Inc. buildings, and walks through the neighborhood (within a few blocks of their house).
