The Northside Neighborhoods Plan was developed over a twelve month planning process,
beginning in January 2004, involving local businesses and residents centered around the
Buckingham, Alta Vista, Andersonville and Via Lopez neighborhoods.
The primary Plan elements in Phase I include assessment of existing conditions,
opportunities and constraints analysis, issues identification, and vision and goals. Phase H
includes developing a physical frameworkplan integrating land use,transportation,and open
lands into a composite map, and policy direction. The final phase focuses on identifying
specific implementation strategies for achieving the Plan.

the City Structure Plan Map is needed to include the "Stream Corridor" (Josh Ames
