Sooner or later, every important discussion at WWPNA references the neighborhood plan. As things go, this is a guiding document about the nature of the neighborhood as it was and as it should be. Especially since the leadership of WWPNA changes over time, our neighborhood plan serves as a rudder.

It's interesting, both historically and for today. But you should read it and be familiar with its contents because it remains powerful. Particularly when the more contentious issues arise (e.g., Perk & Pub, Skylark Lounge, etc.), our guiding document provides a level of dispassion that can help us see the forest through the trees.

Although the plan is 15 years old, we're fortunate to have it. Many neighborhoods have never had the opportunity, the will, the foresight, or the money to create one. We have one, and will continue to use it for the guiding principles bolstered and represented by our neighborhood commitment.

That's why you should read it.
