Welcome

The Department of Planning & Community & Economic Development worked with the Northport-Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Steering Committee and interested residents, businesses and stakeholders to develop a 5-10 year plan for the Northside area. The Planning process began in January 2008 and ended with Common Council adoption of the plan on November 3, 2009.

The published plan can be accessed here and the implementation addendum is here. Thank you to the NWS Steering Committee, Alderperson Satya Rhodes-Conway, Alderperson Michael Schumacher along with all others who helped make the planning process a success.

The planning area includes the well-established neighborhood areas of Berkely Oaks, Brentwood Village, East Bluff, Kennedy Heights, Lakeview Hill, Maple Wood, Mendota Hills, Sheridan Triangle, Sherman, Vera Court and Whitetail Ridge. The Northport -Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Planning Area is bounded by Wheeler Road & Harvey Road on the north, Packers Avenue on the east, Commercial Avenue on the south and Lake Mendota/Woodward Drive on the west.
