45 <br />In this chapter the priority initiatives identified through the planning process are further explored to determine how they can be implemented. Each project is reviewed to develop an anticipated timeframe for completion as well <br />as identifying the lead entity. The lead role is crucial for the implementation of each project. Neighborhood revitalization efforts take neighbors, multiple stakeholders and organizations, and government working together. No <br />one entity can accomplish all efforts alone. <br />The Near Northwest Neighborhood has a true asset in the many engaged residents who care about the future of their neighborhood. Some of these neighbors are small-scale developers that own multiple properties and wish <br />to have a positive impact on the neighborhood through stabilizing existing buildings, building new, and working on placemaking efforts. In addition to the momentum created by neighbors there are organizations interested in <br />seeing positive projects happen in the neighborhood including, the City of South Bend, Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc., and Cross Community Inc. <br />Implementation <br />Strategy 1: Create a safe and attractive neighborhood through infrastructure improvements <br />Strategy & Action Steps Lead Role Potential Partners 1-2 Year 3-5 Years 5+ Years <br />Complete traffic calming improvements in Leeper Park to help slow <br />traffic <br />South Bend Venues Parks & Arts, <br />Division of Engineering, Dept. of <br />Community Investment x <br />Complete intersection improvments at Riverside Dr. & Hudson Ave. <br />to help improve safety <br />Dept. of Community Investment, <br />Division of Engineering x <br />Explore opportunity to improve the trail system connectivity along <br />Riverside Drive Dept. of Community Investment <br />South Bend Venues Parks & Arts, <br />Dvision of Engineering x <br />Work with Muessel Elementary School to address student drop-off <br />and pick-up circulation concerns <br />Dept. of Community Investment, <br />Division of Engineering Muessel Elementary School x x <br />Complete infrastruture improvements within the Sherman & <br />Harrison Avenues target area to support development <br />Dept. of Community Investment, <br />Divison of Engineering Developer(s)x <br />Explore reconfiguring the California, Leland, & Riverside intersection <br />to improve circulation and safety <br />Dept. of Community Investment, <br />Division of Engineering x
