In 2022, HPNA hired Street Smarts Design + Build to conduct a street safety traffic study in order to provide an inventory of existing conditions as well as recommendations for strategies, plans and potential projects to improve the safety of the streets encompassing the neighborhood. The process included several neighborhood meetings and walk-and-talks to gather resident input. Plans to help fund and guide future improvements are currently ongoing via discussions with city officials.
