Overview

Fountain Park Estates has two main entryway features along Main St. Both are a considerable distance away from the neighborhood itself. This pilot project focused on the entryway at Roaring Springs Dr. and Main St. The entryway was missing neighborhood signage with non-existing landscape or hardscape materials. Below are the major phases of the project's timeline:

  1. Requesting feedback via neighborhood survey
  2. Hosting a neighborhood public meeting
  3. Launching resident committee
  4. Organizing neighborhood workday
  5. Publishing project updates as needed
  6. Celebrating with a block party


Recap: Public Meeting

The neighborhood meeting was held on Thursday, July 22, 2021 at Church Eleven32 located at 700 Rivercrest Blvd. About 60 residents attended to learn more and offer feedback. Their input included visual preferences for entryway improvements and general comments regarding the neighborhood. Many in attendance volunteered to serve on the resident committee. This group of volunteers offered additional guidance and input for the project itself and helped organize the neighborhood block party.


Entryway Project

The city recommended that the original structure be completely removed and replaced with an updated masonry feature that is perpendicular to Main St. The final design complied with all city ordinances and sign regulations while also meeting the sight visibility requirements.


Block Party

The neighborhood block party happened Friday evening, October 7, 2022 at Reed Park West. The committee recruited other volunteers, coordinated food options, worked with outside vendors, and engaged their neighborhood by canvassing the entire neighborhood with doorhangers. Over 400+ Fountain Park Estates residents came out to connect with neighbors, have fun, and celebrate the project.
