San Jose Strong Neighborhoods Initiative
San Jose Redevelopment Agency, San Jose, California
MIG led six San Jose Strong Neighborhoods Initiative (SNI) projects. The goal of the SNI was to involve neighborhoods and their diverse interest groups in the development of community-driven plans to improve neighborhood conditions, enhance community safety, coordinate community services and strengthen neighborhood associations. MIG created innovative planning and design solutions for these projects that address traffic calming measures; safety and security; parks, recreation and community facilities; and commercial revitalization. MIG also designed a community involvement process that became a model for other neighborhood plans.
