The Lincoln Park Five Points Neighborhood Activation began in Fall 2023 with an interested resident contacting the City for insight into how to build up the association.

This meeting started a longer process where residents and City staff will work together to build a neighborhood board, bylaws, and brand, and the City Liaison will work on building a comprehensive Neighborhood Status Assessment (see below). This is also a part of the Northwest Neighborhood Plan.

Neighborhood Status Assessments (NSA) begin with interested residents contacting the City. A City Liaison is assigned to the neighborhood and provides support, resources, and best practices over the course of 12-18 months.

The ultimate goal of the NSA is to empower residents to independently manage their neighborhood association.

The City Liaison distributes a survey and conducts at least 50 interviews of neighborhood residents. The NSA concludes with a comprehensive written document on neighborhood history, demographics, and data.

Dumpster Day and Spring Cleanup was held Saturday, April 13th at Queen of Angel's Church Parking lot. Neighborhood residents picked up trash/litter to beautify the neighborhood and dispose of bulky items.

As the first neighborhoods reactivation meeting, residents discussed how to integrate into a new neighborhood with a new brand and possibly a new name, and the bylaws and board positions were discussed. The next meeting was also scheduled.

At the second neighborhood reactivation meeting, the neighborhood discussed new bylaws, a new brand, the possibility of a new name, and board positions.
