BACKGROUND

Within the Buckner Terrace-Skyline target area, there is a concentration of nearly 1,000 apartment units spanning four (4) major complexes along with a collection of townhomes split among a group of owners. While the area has experienced an increase in new residential and commercial construction, maintenance is needed for much of the multi-family housing.

The perception of crime and general disengagement with the wider community has isolated residents living within the multi-family housing. To bring community stakeholders together and create a safe and secure community for all the residents, the Buckner Terrace-Skyline Advisory Committee, composed of neighborhood residents and leaders, is focused on "Safety & Security".  Issues such as crime, quality housing, connection to services, educational attainment, neighborhood beautification and community empowerment are being addressed.

Through input provided in numerous community meetings and workshops, a Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) was created. The Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan outlines a sustainable set of tasks to continue addressing neighborhood concerns and will be implemented by the Buckner Terrace Homeowner's Association. 

In January 2018, the Planning & Urban Design department received a $5,000 KaBOOM! Play Everywhere Challenge grant to transform the sidewalks near Skyline High school and Guzick Elementary school into interactive sports-themed play areas!  The sidewalk Sportscape was completed in August 2018. Read more about the project.
