The Grant Road Improvement Project extends from Oracle to Swan Road.  Phase two and Phase five effect Jefferson Park.  The widening of Grant Road will cause the loss of 23 properties which contribute  the neighborhood's historic status.

2) To represent and inform the neighborhood residents and associations in the affected area. To  facilitate their voice in the process.

Goals:
  • Preserve the historic and cultural vision for the border of the impacted residential and historic neighborhoods.
  • Enhance and maintain the vitality of inner city neighborhoods
  •  Promote the use of walls, berms, green space, bikeways, and pedestrian facilities encouraging transit, and provision for smooth traffic flow.
  •  Promote the best practice in urban planning and development which protects and preserves the quality of life of inner city neighborhoods.
  • Protect the R-1, NPZ already existing in the mile.
