Proctor District Neighborhood Plan
The City Council identified the Proctor Neighborhood as the second Neighborhood Plan. This program provides enhanced planning and development support to help communities create strong, vibrant, and diverse neighborhoods.
Through the planning process, the community identified the following priorities:
- Pedestrian Safety and Comfort: Supporting safe access to key neighborhood destinations for people walking, biking, and rolling.
- Human-Scale Design: Development that features pedestrian-oriented urban design and honors Proctor’s historic character.
- Outdoor Community Space: Community space for gathering indoors and outdoors, including enhancing access to existing spaces and parks.
- Sustainability and Climate Adaptation: Reducing climate impacts through environmentally sustainable practices and development and preserving the urban tree canopy.
- Commercial and Residential Affordability: Preserving and constructing housing that is attainable for diverse incomes and needs and affordable commercial space for small and diverse businesses.
What’s Happening Now?
The Proctor Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the City Council in February 2024, and we are now working on implementation. More than 700 people voted to select the following implementation projects, which have now been completed:
- The Proctor District Association worked with local businesses to replace sick trees throughout the district
- Proctor Blocks: Open Streets Events Series was held in summer 2024. Thank you to our amazing partners for hosting events, including La Paloma, Greentrike, Mason United Methodist Church, Proctor District Association, and the North End Neighborhood Council

Proctor Neighborhood: Location and Profile
For this plan, we define “neighborhood” as the Mixed-Use Center and the surrounding residential neighborhood. These boundaries may be adjusted during the planning process, but it is important to include public amenities (such as parks and schools) that service the core neighborhood.
Proctor Neighborhood: Project Funding
The Neighborhood Planning Program provides funding for technical support by a consultant team and some prioritized implementation, including $50,000 to support the implementation of the Community Booster Projects. Major projects will be accomplished through partnerships between the City and its partners, as well as additional fundraising.
