9. PRIORITIES

This Market Neighborhood Plan references more issues than can be addressed by the City, even over a multi-year time period. Further, neighborhood matters that require the expenditure of resources are subject to Citywide prioritization with all other matters under consideration. This Plan does not rank order every issue, but several important themes emerge for community members when it comes to priorities:

•    First, matters that directly impact public safety on streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, and pedestrian rights-of-way are a clear priority for the community. The Greenway proposal mentioned in the Transportation section herein is a prime example.

•    Second, it is important to the neighborhood that existing and new regulations ensure that new development is compatible in scale and design with the existing neighborhood fabric.

•    And finally, continuing with a consultative approach to planning and development that promotes Citywide objectives while involving the Market Neighborhood Association, as well as the neighbors more generally, is an important consideration for all such matters.
