University District Alliance progress report

The University District Alliance recently completed and proudly submitted a progress report to the legislature, highlighting some of the achievements of the Alliance in the first year of activity. I hope you have had an opportunity to read the report and share it with other members of your organization and the community.

The Alliance’s work is being accomplished through the extraordinary efforts of hundreds of volunteers — members of the Steering Committee, five work groups, participants in planning workshops, friends and partner organizations. Their work has resulted in:

A Home Ownership Preservation Program that has preserved at least 22 homes for long-term owner-occupancy.

A Home Buyer Incentive Program that will attract at least 15 new homebuyers to the University District.

A website featuring the benefits of living in the University District: www.livenearyourwork.net.

A start on commercial district streetscape improvements in the Cedar Riverside business district.

Twenty student-neighborhood liaisons working in Marcy Holmes and SE Como, connecting students and their neighbors.

Inspection of 500 rental properties, with 2,000 housing violations resolved.

New ordinances to strengthen regulation of rental properties.

A zoning, planning, and regulatory review to look at the unique regulatory needs of our part of the city.

The beginning of the development of a vision and plan for the University District, including ideas for transformational developments in each part of the District.

New channels of cooperation among the Alliance member organizations.

There is more good work to do in the coming year, including continuing and improving the work already begun on Alliance projects, launching the next stage of planning for the District, improving our communications, and building a strong organizational base for the future.

Any comments about the first year’s work of the Alliance are also welcome.

The University District Alliance Progress Report 2007 - 2009 is on the web at www.community.umn.edu/alliance.
