Current Projects

Safety remains a significant concern and we are currently working with the City, the school district, developers, homeowners and other stakeholders to address key problem areas as well as provide input on projects contemplated in the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP) (available here). If you have a safety issue you would like us to consider, please contact us.

An overlay is additional regulation that adds to or modifies the existing code and serves  as decision‐making criteria for development. The process includes an assessment of neighborhood issues, setting neighborhood objectives for the overlay, looking at alternatives, and conducting neighborhood outreach to determine the preferred approach. Several neighborhoods have completed this process, including Glenmorrie, Lake Grove and Evergreen neighborhoods and we are considering a similar path (more here).

The FHNA BoD review and respond in writing to tree removal applications, attends pre-development conferences for all proposed developments and provides feedback as appropriate.

A network of safety coordinators across 5+ homes in the FHNA with emergency response kits is currently maintained.  Click here for safety coordinator contact information.
