NRP II Planning Process
The Bottineau Neighborhood Association began its NRP planning in late 2001 with a neighborhood survey to review the work it had completed during the first phase of NRP implementation. It wasn't until the spring of 2004 that BNA really began planning efforts for phase II.
In April 2004, the NRP Policy Board approved the neighborhood's Participation Agreement - a document that outlines how the planning will be done and an estimated timeline. The BNA Board of Directors will directly oversee the planning efforts with much of the development, outreach, and writing being done by BNA staff. Much of the planning work is to be done at the monthly BNA meetings with additional focus group meetings and surveys to supplement information gathering.
Below is the proposed timeline for plan development:
March 2004
Participation Agreement Approved
March
Initial NRP Phase II Neighborhood Wide Meeting
April to August
Planning Meetings, Survey(s), Focus Groups, etc.
September

October

November

City Council Approval
This is only a proposed timeline. It will likely change (and already has) during the planning process. For updates on the progress of plan development, please see the Progress page for updates.
