On May 31, 2006, Mayor Cicilline and the City Council announced the creation of Provi-dence Tomorrow– an innovative and inclusive planning process designed to create a framework for growth and preservation of Providence neighborhoods. Since then, the City Council adopted a new Comprehensive Plan, and the Department of Planning and Development has begun detailed planning studies in each of the city’s neighborhoods.

Providence has 25 distinct neighborhoods, each with unique character and identity. While neighborhoods share many features, each has its own set of planning challenges and concerns. An important part of Providence Tomorrow is the in-depth, detailed planning studies that were conducted at the neighborhood level. The neighborhoods were grouped together so that there were ten neighborhood charrettes, or planning studies, conducted from 2007 to 2009.

The Hartford, Silver Lake and Manton Neighborhood Charrette took place September 14-17, 2009 at the Silver Lake Community Center. Over 50 people participated in the charrette, voicing their opinions on how to preserve and improve open and public spaces in their neighborhoods, where and how they would like to see commercial growth in the future, and how to enhance the existing qualities of their neighborhoods, addressing community safety, infrastructure needs and transit improvements, among other issues. The planning team collected all of the information from the week, and drafted an action plan that was presented at a follow-up meeting in November 2009. After further comments and reviews, this neighborhood plan was developed.

This map is a summary of the information that was collected from residents, business owners and neighborhood youth over the course of an intensive week of many public meetings. The Plan summarizes neighborhood history and demographics, illustrates the existing character of the neighborhoods through photos and typologies of buildings types, and identifies key issues and neighborhood priorities. The Action Plan identifies goals and objectives for the neighborhoods, and the parties who will lead each effort. The Plan will be used to guide the review of development projects in these neighbor-hoods by the city’s boards and commissions, help the City prioritize funding for proj-ects and infrastructure improvements, and provide a guide for redevelopment efforts.
