A Neighborhood Improvement Project
In November 2006, voters approved $25,000,000 for neighborhood improvement projects including $2,000,000 in the East Forest neighborhood. The area is bounded by Independence Boulevard to the northeast, Railroad to the southwest, Sharon Amity to the northwest and Thermal Road to the southeast.
Improvements include features such as:
The plans were based on safety, cost, benefits, traffic analysis and an extensive public involvement process. Construction of this project is expected to be completed in 2011.
The Project team now has 95% complete design plans for East Forest. The plans are divided into four files below. They were saved in a pdf format and will load slowly.
