Where We've Been

January 1, 2026 6:00 AM - January 2, 2026 6:00 AM

Beginning in February 2025, the Community Enhancement Department facilitated a Neighborhood Stabilization Initiative in Oak Hill that included a neighborhood survey, meeting, and block party. This launched our enhancement efforts, along with the Engineering Department, to share plans for improvements to waterlines, sidewalks and entryway features within the neighborhood. Tab #1 is dedicated to that process.

** Note: Updates are posted from most recent to oldest. Go to the bottom of the page and scroll up to view the updates in chronological order.


Waterlines & Sidewalk Updates - Fall 2026



Neighborhood Block Party - October 4, 2025

It was good to meet all the neighbors who came out to the block party. We had about 15 families attend with ages young and old. A huge THANK YOU to Greenville Oaks Church of Christ for partnering with Oak Hill and the City of Allen. They allowed us to host the block party on their campus south lawn. We could not have done this without their help. Also, our APPRECIATION to Allen PD and Code Compliance for attending and reaching out to Oak Hill residents.


Neighborhood Meeting - February 27, 2025

A BIG thank you to the 18 residents who attended the neighborhood meeting. If you were not able to attend or want a refresher, the presentation is attached below.

In summary, Staff from the Community Enhancement Department gave a brief presentation explaining what the department does, past neighborhood stabilization projects, and potential projects to be completed in the Oak Hill.

Visual Preference

We asked for feedback in two different areas: (1) signage style, and (2) sign graphics. Each resident was given three dots (votes) with instructions to vote their top preference for signage (one blue dot) and top two for graphics (two red dots). You can see the results below in the picture. Rustic style is preferred 2 to 1, and the top graphic won over the others by less of a margin. This was a good first step and will help City staff, along with additional input from the resident committee, to make the final selection.

Committee Volunteers

Four residents volunteered to serve on the resident committee. This is a good start, and we hope to capture a few more. This group will meet with City staff at key points to help plan a workday, block party, and provide feedback as the entryway project progress. This is an open group, so please feel free to reach out to enhancement@cityofallen.org and join in at any time.
