What is important to Franklin to the Fort Neighbors?
The Franklin to the Fort Leadership Team created a Neighborhood Action Plan as a way to address the evolving needs and priorities of our community. This plan creates a cohesive and actionable roadmap that aligns with the City of Missoula’s Strategic Plan and other relevant city plans. By focusing on specific neighborhood issues, we aim to enhance the quality of life for all residents and foster a sense of community.
This document serves as a workplan for Leadership Team members and may be updated by the Leadership Team as necessary. These are aspirational action items, and not all priorities may be met.
The development of this plan involves a comprehensive and inclusive process. We engage with residents through multiple surveys, neighborhood meetings, and the annual F2F Block Party. We are continually striving for new ways to reach neighborhood residents to include all voices. This process ensures that the perspectives of our community members are heard and incorporated into the plan.
Priorities:
- Housing Access and Stability: Ensuring affordable and stable housing options for all residents.
- Traffic and Road Safety: Improving traffic control and road safety to enhance neighborhood livability.
- Biking, Sidewalks, and Pedestrian Use/Access: Enhancing pedestrian and biking infrastructure to promote active transportation.
- Community Well-Being: Enhancing community amenities and services to improve quality of life.
