| Neighborhood Description: | We are a cohesive neighborhood. There is nearby Lake Monona with a beautiful view and Olbrich Gardens. Our neighborhood association, Eastmorland Community Association, is actively working for a safe, clean environment and for a strong, informed voice in City and County issues/changes that directly affect our neighborhood. The Eastmorland Community Association began in 1957. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007. |
| Neighborhood Boundaries: | Milwaukee Street (Highway 30) on the north, Stoughton Road (Highway 51) on the east, Cottage Grove Road on the south, Lake Monona/Atwood Avenue and Starkweather Creek on the west |
| Neighborhood Statistics Indicators: | The Neighborhood Indicators Project is a demonstration of key characteristics and various indicators that relate to the quality of life in Madison at the neighborhood level. Basic neighborhood information as well as housing, public safety, health and family well-being, economic, and transportation indicators by neighborhood is available. |
| Recent Accomplishments: | -The Royster-Clark Neighborhood Planning Team and the City of Madison Planning staff met monthly for the past 18 months to create a "Special Area Plan" for the former Royster-Clark property at the corner of Dempsey and Cottage Grove Roads. Final touches are being added to nearly 70 pages - a draft of the plan which outlines proposed land use and development recommendations for the future of the site. This 26-acre property is one of the largest sites in the City of Madison to be redeveloped (2009). -Eastmorland Neighborhood is also working on Phase 3 of plans to add additional playground equipment to Eastmorland Park (2009). -The City of Madison adopted the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan June 3, 2008. The Plan, prepared by the Cuningham Group, P.A., represents a two year collaborative project joining east side neighborhoods, private sector business interests, local, state, and county units of government. The Plan’s objective is to create a new vision for the Stoughton Road Corridor from Highway 12/18 north to Highway 30. The Plan establishes a clear sense of place, establishes Stoughton Road as a Gateway to the City, promotes a positive business climate, connect neighborhoods, generate design standards, updates land uses and zoning patterns, and generates multi-mode transportation opportunities (2008). |
