ITEM I: APPROVAL OF HISTORIC JACKSON NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
BACKGROUND
Staff requests approval of the Historic Jackson Neighborhood Plan, which focuses on the
neighborhood area along Jackson Street from Murdock Avenue to Church Avenue.
Recent efforts by residents, the Historic Jackson Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh
and partner organizations have centered on enhancing existing assets to provide stability and
ensure the Historic Jackson neighborhood continues to be one of choice in Oshkosh.
The purpose of this review is for the Plan Commission to make a determination that the
proposed goals and objectives within the Historic Jackson Neighborhood Plan are consistent
with the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, official maps, and other planning objectives of the
City.
ANALYSIS
The City of Oshkosh-Planning Services Division in partnership with the Historic Jackson
Neighborhood Association have worked together to develop the Historic Jackson
Neighborhood Plan. The Plan serves the following purposes:
Educate both city government and neighborhood residents about each other’s concerns
and visions for the future.
Promote collaboration between the City, the neighborhood, and local public, private and
non-profit organizations in order to achieve mutual goals to enhance the neighborhood.
Create “pride of place” within the community by identifying and developing the assets
within each neighborhood.
Initiate change, rather than simply reacting to it, by addressing specific issues and
opportunities.
Strengthen the city by improving the quality of life in neighborhoods.
This plan was prepared for the Historic Jackson Neighborhood Association with the intent to
support their efforts in addressing neighborhood challenges and promoting reinvestment.
Created during a resident led planning process; the plan may be used by the Historic Jackson
Neighborhood Association, the City of Oshkosh, and partner organizations to ensure
neighborhood improvements and activities are implemented to meet the needs of residents.
The plan first offers a brief neighborhood history, followed by a snapshot of current conditions,
including both assets and concerns identified throughout the planning process. The plan then
outlines four priority areas: Image, Market, Physical Conditions and Neighborhood
Management. Individual sections explore each focus area, assess current conditions, and
Page 1
Item I - Approval of Historic Jackson Neighborhood Plan 2
provide goals, objectives and specific action items to help achieve the intended goals.
Prior to Common Council consideration, this plan is reviewed by the Plan Commission for
consistency with the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, official maps, and other planned
activities of the City. Staff has reviewed all proposed goals and objectives and believes they do
not conflict with the City of Oshkosh’s Comprehensive Plan, official maps, or other planning
objectives of the City.
RECOMMENDATIONS/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the Historic Jackson Neighborhood Plan, together with a finding
that the identified goals and objectives are not in conflict with the City of Oshkosh’s
Comprehensive Plan.

Neighborhood Planning Process
Neighborhood planning is a primary service offered through the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative
and established in the ONE Oshkosh Strategic Plan. The neighborhood planning process helps
identify the needs of residents and creates steps to guide the neighborhood long term. The Historic
Jackson Neighborhood Association planning team provided information about needs, priorities, and goals for the Historic Jackson Neighborhood. This plan document includes action items that
the residents can employ to address their needs and fulfill their goals. This planning process was
resident-led, ensuring that it had relevance to the neighborhood. The City of Oshkosh Common
Council recognizes healthy neighborhoods as essential to the well-being of the City. This plan
seeks to address neighborhood challenges while enhancing positive elements that contribute to the quality of life for current and future residents. This Neighborhood Plan lists a set of strategies to
address neighborhood needs in the following categories: Image, Market, Physical Conditions, and
Neighborhood Management. The graphic above indicates the steps of the neighborhood planning
process.

Executive Summary
The Historic Jackson Neighborhood includes all properties adjacent to Jackson Street from Murdock
Avenue to Church Street. In April 2016, the City of Oshkosh recognized Historic Jackson as a
neighborhood association. They served as the 12th recognized neighborhood association in the City of Oshkosh. Since 2016, the Historic Jackson Neighborhood Association (HJNA) has worked
to improve quality of life in the neighborhood. While the neighborhood association is fairly new,
they have strengthened their capacity through volunteerism. The neighborhood has worked closely
with the City of Oshkosh, Greater Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods Incorporated, Congress Field
Neighborhood Association, Oshkosh Police Department and the Oshkosh Area School District.
This document was prepared for the HJNA to guide the efforts of the neighborhood, strengthen
the neighborhood, and ensure the neighborhood’s attractiveness to existing and new residents.
The plan was created during challenging circumstances which contributed to the extended project
timeline. In 2019, the Historic Jackson Planning Team was formed to conduct the planning process and improve the stability of the neighborhood. The planning team placed this project on hold in
order to dedicate their time to the development of the Jackson Corridor Safety Study and Quality
of Life Analysis which was conducted by a team of consultants beginning in winter 2019 to winter
2020. As an achievement for the neighborhood, Common Council adopted the recommendations in
that study in December 2020. The on-going COVID-19 Pandemic has offered unique challenges to completing this plan as well. This was a resident-led process and is intended to be used by the HJNA,
City of Oshkosh, and other community partners to ensure the implementation of neighborhood
improvements and projects that meet the needs of Historic Jackson residents.
The plan includes a history section, information on the neighborhood’s demographics, and assets / opportunities determined during the planning process. The plan focuses on four topics: Image,
Market, Physical Conditions, and Neighborhood Management. Each topic has a section that
examines the area, current conditions pertinent to the area, and lists goals and action items that will
help the neighborhood achieve the goals outlined in the plan.
Neighborhood planning involves key stakeholders - residents, businesses, and property owners.
Historic Jackson leadership provided guidance and direction during the research and draft stages
of this plan. Recommendations were presented at public input sessions where resident input was
captured and later used to sculpt the final recommendations.

Introduction
The Historic Jackson Neighborhood has existed since 2016 as an active neighborhood association
in the City of Oshkosh. Historic Jackson’s leadership team has worked with City Staff, Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods, and other partners on initiatives such as the Historic Jackson
Neighborhood Plan, the Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods Alliance, the overhead pedestrian
beacons on Jackson, the Jackson Corridor Safety Study and Quality of Life Analysis, and the
Campus Overlay Zoning District, etc.
In 2018, City Planning staff approached the Historic Jackson Neighborhood about creating a
plan for the neighborhood. The neighborhood was active and established at that point, and
had a strong core leadership team. Neighborhood leadership believed that the neighborhood
was ready to create a plan to guide the neighborhood’s efforts long-term. The Historic Jackson
Neighborhood agreed to work with City staff on the creation of a neighborhood plan.
The planning process began in early 2019, and continued throughout 2019. Students from
UW-Oshkosh assisted in gathering data on property conditions in the neighborhood. The
neighborhood residents assisted by recruiting a leadership team that would partner with City
staff throughout the planning process to create the plan. When the planning process kicked off for the Jackson Corridor Safety Study and Quality of Life Analysis, the neighborhood plan
was placed on hold. The Jackson Corridor Safety Study and Quality of Life Analysis was later
finalized and adopted in 2021.
The neighborhood worked with City staff to create a long-term vision for the neighborhood and determine the content for the plan. City staff compiled data and drafted plan chapters.
At each meeting, staff presented the work previously done to the neighborhood team. The
neighborhood provided input to staff for each plan chapter. Staff then revised the chapters and
incorporated resident input during the process. The dominant theme among residents was that
the neighborhood has many assets but potential for improvement existed in regards to property investment and safety along Jackson Street.
The Historic Jackson Neighborhood Plan, like all neighborhood plans, offers long-term guidance
for the neighborhood over the next several years. It outlines a vision, and provides goals the
neighborhood can strive towards in making the vision a reality. Under each goal are multiple objectives and action items that the neighborhood can implement towards meeting each goal
in the plan. The plans are recognized by the city Plan Commission and Common Council.
The data on existing conditions compiled in the plan establishes a baseline detailing the
neighborhood’s status at the plan’s creation. The action items in the plan are to be implemented
by the neighborhood and partners to help the neighborhood improve upon its current conditions. The goal is that this plan will guide the Historic Jackson Neighborhood as the
neighborhood seeks to improve its quality of life and realize its long-term vision.

Neighborhood History
This chapter examines the history of the area now
known as the Historic Jackson Neighborhood.
The neighborhood has a rich history that was
shaped by important residents and institutions.
The neighborhood residents take great pride in
the area’s historic architecture. Jackson Street is a
major corridor and the spine of the neighborhood.
During the planning process the neighborhood
examined its own history to inform their plan
for the future. Historic images for this chapter
were provided by the Oshkosh Public Museum
archives. Joseph Jackson, who the street was
named after, was known for gifting city lands
to new residents because he wanted to see the
city developed. He sold his land for mills and

Jackson Street
Jackson Street is a major north-south artery
into the city and also a State Highway. The northern end of the Jackson corridor is often
the first impression many visitors from the
north have of the city and is very important to
the neighborhood’s image. Jackson Street was
reconfigured in 2001 to a four-lane road. This reconfiguration has had a powerful impact on the
neighborhood and the planning team highlighted
the configuration of Jackson Street as an area
of opportunity. In 2019, The City of Oshkosh
partnered with the neighborhood to conduct the Jackson Street Corridor Study and Safety Analysis
to help make informed decisions for the corridor.
In 2021, the plan was implemented creating two
drive lanes and a dedicated center turn lane.

Historic District Owner-Renter Mix
The Historic Jackson Neighborhood contains
a small portion of the Irving-Church Historic
District and various historic and older homes.
Several Queen Anne examples are found in
this Neighborhood and Historic District.
Institutions
The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh,Winnebago County Courthouse, Oshkosh
City Hall and Police Department, and various
businesses downtown are located within
blocks of the Historic Jackson Neighborhood.
Though few institutions and businessesare located within the neighborhood,
proximity to nearby amenities impacts the
neighborood.
At the time of this plan (2019) the
neighborhood housing was more than 50%
rentals. This could be due to a number
of factors, including the neighborhood’s
proximity to UW-Oshkosh. Earlier in its historythe neighborhood housing stock was primarily
owner-occupied.

Demographic Profi le2
Historic Jackson Population
Demographic information was obtained from the ESRI Community Analyst which includes
information on housing, race, education,
and employment. Data captured for the
Historic Jackson planning process provides an
overview of the neighborhood population. The demographics tell the story of the people that
call the neighborhood home and allow us to
understand their needs. These demographics
enable comparisons between diff erent years to
see how the population has changed.
Population Count
Key Characteristics
High Percentage of White Residents - The ESRI data shows that as of 2019, 89.2% of the Historic
Jackson residents were white, followed by 4.3%
of Hispanic Origin, 3.5% Asian, 3.0% Black, 1.2%
American Indian, 1.8% two or more races, and 1.4%
other race.
Income - The median household income of Historic
Jackson residents is $33,792. This is signifi cantly
lower than the median of $45,708 for the City of
Oshkosh, this may be a result of the higher student population and proximity to the university.
Education level - Approximately 10.5% of the
neighborhood population holds at least a Bachelor’s
degree and this is lower than the City of Oshkosh at 25.2%, this may be a result of the higher student
population and proximity to the university.
According to the ESRI data, 508 people lived
in the Historic Jackson neighborhood in 2019
and had a median age of 24 years old. ESRI
estimates that by 2024 the population of the neighborhood will grow to 512, which is a
slight increase over the next 5 years. Less than
1% of the 66,729 residents in Oshkosh reside
in the Historic Jackson neighborhood, which
is approximately one square mile of the city’s total area.

Visioning3
During the planning process, Historic Jackson
residents worked to identify several strengths
of their neighborhood. A visioning session
was held and residents noted several areas
that they would consider strengths. The
residents also highlighted areas where they
believed their neighborhood could improve.
The neighborhood identified assets and
opportunities as part of the visioning process.
These assets and opportunities helped the
planning team determine the current state of
the neighborhood. The current state provided
a baseline that informed planning efforts and
allowed the planning team to form goals and
objectives to improve the neighborhood long
term.
The Visioning session took place on August 8th,
2019, and was well attended by Historic Jackson
residents. Residents worked with staff and
each other to brainstorm potential mission and
vision statements, long term outlooks for the
neighborhood, assets and opportunities. City
staff compiled information from the session
to include in the neighborhood plan and form
goals, objectives, and action items. The assets
and opportunities the planning team identified
are listed on the following pages.

Plan Development
The development of the Historic Jackson neighborhood plan began in early 2019 with the
organizing of the neighborhood planning team. A neighborhood survey was developed in spring of 2019. Data collection on the existing physical conditions of the parcels occurred
during spring 2019 and was completed by April 2019. Analysis of survey results occurred in the
months to follow.
In summer 2019, city staff and HJNA residents met to start creating a plan for Historic Jackson. A Visioning session was scheduled for August 2019. Residents began to identify what they
valued most about the Historic Jackson neighborhood using the Assets and Opportunities
exercise. Residents worked to answer the question of where they wanted to see their
neighborhood go over the next 10 years. After this, residents worked collaboratively to develop
a vision statement for Historic Jackson. Finally, residents had the opportunity to present these statements to the larger group and City staff then worked with them to develop a process for
creating the neighborhood plan going forward.
Goals and action items for the plan were developed from August through December 2019 at
a series of monthly neighborhood meetings where neighbors provided input to city staff . As each of the four main plan categories (Image, Market, Physical Conditions, and Neighborhood
Management) were completed, city staff sought comments from the neighborhood group. After
a lengthy hiatus, the planning process was reinvigorated in 2021 and was adopted by Common
Council on January 11, 2022.

Neighborhood Image pertains to ones perception of the Historic Jackson Neighborhood. If the
neighborhood has a strong positive image, this will contribute to positive perceptions in the minds of the neighborhood residents, community members, and visitors from outside Oshkosh. A person’s
perception of the neighborhood will impact whether the person wishes to stay in or return to the
neighborhood. If the Historic Jackson Neighborhood is regarded highly, a resident or visitor will
have a higher chance of remaining in the neighborhood long-term. The planning process examines
image and what positive or negative factors strengthen or weaken the neighborhood’s image.
Compared to other neighborhoods, the Historic Jackson Neighborhood does not contain many
amenities within its borders, however it does enjoy close proximity to many resources. The
neighborhood is in walking distance to downtown which includes shopping, dining, and the
Riverwalk. The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is located just west of the neighborhood, and Merrill Elementary and Middle School is located to the east. To the south nearby amenities include
multiple churches, City Hall, Oshkosh Police Department, Oshkosh Food Co-OP and Winnebago
County Courthouse. The neighborhood includes a portion of the Irving-Church Historic District and
the Morgan House.
During the visioning session, residents considered the Irving-Church Historic District, proximity to
amenities, quality houses, and engaged leadership as assets of the Historic Jackson Neighborhood.
Many of the residents have lived in the neighborhood for many years and their first-hand stories are
also important to the neighborhood. The Jackson Street corridor is a significant gateway serving as a
first impression to the city as emphasized by residents.
Along with the many neighborhood assets, residents recognized key areas of opportunity. Residents
noted the design of Jackson Street, 18” terraces, and the speed of the traffic as areas that required
improvement. The residents input indicated that the 4-lane road configuration and safety issues
(106 crashes in 2018, 86 crashes in 2019, 74 crashes in 2020) were some of the major detriments to the neighborhood image. After reflecting on the roadway changes made in 2001, some residents felt
there was still room for improvement and in 2019 they began working with city staff to address thier
concerns. The result of resident efforts led to Common Council adopting the Jackson Corridor Safety
Study. This chapter examines the neighborhood image and presents objectives and action items that
the neighborhood can implement to improve the Historic Jackson neighborhood image.

significantly lower than the City median age of 33.6 years for 2019. This would suggest that a large percentage of students and young adults likely live in the neighborhood. The largest single age
bracket in 2019 was the 15-24 year old age group with 42.0% of the neighborhood population. This
information may be impacted as a result of a large student population residing in the neighborhood.
The neighborhood is geographically unique as it consists of a strip of properties along both sides of Jackson but very few additional properties outside of this strip. Almost all of the properties in the
neighborhood are residential, but a couple commercial properties exist on the northern edge of the
neighborhood. Due to the high proportion of residential properties in the neighborhood, most of the
market related action items will pertain to the residential market.
Based on conversations with the residents, the neighborhood would like to see an increase in the
proportion of owner-occupied housing units. As of 2019, ESRI data indicated that over half (57.2%) of
housing units were rentals. The neighborhood contains a majority of older and historic homes (1860-
1930) and residents have expressed a desire to maintain the integrity of diverse architecture of these
homes. Moving forward, the neighborhood would like to see more investment in the housing stock. Residents indicated that increased investment in the housing stock and a plan to improve safety
along Jackson Street would enhance the Historic Jackson Neighborhood.

The planning team identified opportunities to improve the residential market within the Historic
Jackson Neighborhood. Some of these examples include:•Encouraging additional investment in the houses along the Jackson Street corridor to enhance their
appearances and convey pride of place.
•Educating homeowners and potential homebuyers on financial incentives available for housing
rehabilitation and purchasing of homes in the neighborhood.
•Continuing efforts to increase homeownership and preservation of the homes located in the Irving-Church Historic District.
•Implementing design changes to Jackson Street to increase the safety and experience.
•Working with the City Forester for UFC grant to plant trees on private properties returning to a
tree-lined street replacing the many terrace trees lost in the road widening.
•Encouraging UW-O staff, City Hall employees, Police and County Employees to purchase homes on Jackson Street with incentives through a Walk to Work Program to revitalize and provide
neighborhood stability.
•Involving UW-Oshkosh more in the neighborhood and its activities.
•Maintaining and improving all modes of transportaton including walking and bicycling.
The following provides market data on the Historic Jackson Neighborhood compared to the City of
Oshkosh as a whole.
Successful market efforts will want to do more than focus solely on the housing. They will need
to encourage public and private investment by residents, businesses, and stakeholders. This Plan chapter includes strategies to increase investment in the neighborhood and ensure the
neighborhood’s continued viability and health long-term.

Throughout the planning process there were many conversations regarding the function and safety
of Jackson Street and intersecting streets within the Historic Jackson Neighborhood. The City of
Oshkosh and the Historic Jackson Neighborhood have partnered on a project to analyze the safety of the corridor. Jackson Street is a focal point of the neighborhood and a major corridor for the city.
The corridor includes 17 intersections, including Murdock Avenue and Church Avenue. The corridor
travels through a predominantly residential neighborhood with pedestrian needs for students.
There are three controlled intersections including New York Avenue, Irving Avenue and Church
Avenue. In 2001, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) reconstructed Jackson Street from approximately Hobbs Avenue to Church Avenue. The street was altered from a two lane
to a four lane roadway with no on street parking. The alterations included increasing the surface
width resulting in the reduction of terrace widths. Sidewalks are now closer to the travel lane than
prior to reconstruction which reduced 5’ terraces to 18” impacting the ability to plant in the terrace,
snow removal, pedestrians and residential driveway access. North of New York Avenue, the right of way extends beyond the location of the sidewalk approximately 3’ on both sides. The corridor
received another alteration in 2010, serving as the first roundabout located in the City of Oshkosh
at the Jackson Avenue and Murdock Avenue intersection. The first rectangular rapidly flashing
beacon (RRFB) system was installed at the roundabout in 2013 to help with pedestrian crossings. In
2017, overhead pedestrian crossing signs with flashing LED lights were installed north and south of the New York Avenue and Jackson Street intersection, which are activated to accommodate school
crossings. In 2018, the Traffic and Parking Advisory Board recommended and the Common Council
approved an ordinance to prohibit left turns from Jackson Street onto New York Avenue from 3 – 7
p.m. Monday through Friday. This has resulted in a decrease of crashes during this time period.
At New York Avenue, there were 16 crashes in 2018, 10 in 2019, and 7 in 2020, 9 ½ months during COVID with less traffic.
Historically, residents have recommended the undergrounding of overhead utilities for safety and
Gateway aesthetics. The neighborhood leadership team believes this will help improve the physical
appearance of the corridor and improve access to housing in the event of fire. Barriers exist that make undergrounding utilities costly and difficult to implement.
Page 34

Creating a tree planting program on private properties could help mitigate air and noise pollution,
as well reduce solar heat gain on pavement, mitigate storm water runoff and restore the original tree
canopy.
During the planning process, public transportation was discussed as it pertained to students and adults. GO-Transit manages ten routes city-wide with two of them going directly through the
neighborhood. Route 2 Main/Jackson and Route 3 FVTC/ New York serve the neighborhood. The
Market Street bus station, located outside the neighborhood boundary, accommodates six of the
ten routes. Bus trips originating in the Historic Jackson Neighborhood have access to the entire bus
network via the Market Street bus station. Residents have expressed an interest in improving the experience of using GO-Transit in the neighborhood.
The City of Oshkosh Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan was adopted in 2019 and recommends
strategies for improving bicycle and pedestrian transportation throughout the Oshkosh area. Historic
Jackson residents indicated a strong desire for a safe, efficient, and diverse transportation network within the neighborhood to support the active residents that live there. There are existing bike
routes on two major east-west streets, Irving Avenue and New York Avenue. North Main Street
located outside neighborhood offers a nearby north-south route. In the surrounding neighborhoods
additional bicycle infrastructure is proposed on Wisconsin Street. The citywide bicycle facility
recommendations map is located in Appendix D. Many bicyclists and walkers use Jackson Street for the convenience to schools and businesses located north of Murdock.
In the winter of 2019, the City of Oshkosh partnered with students from University of Wisconsin –
Oshkosh to assist with neighborhood parcel observations. The students gathered original data from
field research within the neighborhood boundaries. The results indicated potential for improvements that could enhance the conditions of paint/siding, porches, front steps and windows on residential
buildings.
The objectives below were developed to ensure residents are informed of strategies available to
improve the physical conditions of the neighborhood.

The Historic Jackson Neighborhood is an active association. It’s common for neighborhood leaders to
make efforts to meet residents to form strong connections. Historic Jackson participates annually in events and is often present at monthly Healthy Neighborhoods Alliance meetings organized through
GO-HNI. Additionally, they have supported and worked with other neighborhood leaders in the
city.
Many factors can contribute towards retaining neighborhood residents in a community. Residents in the Oshkosh community recognize the benefits of community-building and engagement. The goal of
facilitating a strong sense of community is outlined in the ONE Oshkosh Strategic Plan. The City of
Oshkosh Strategic Plan includes a section called “Strengthen Neighborhoods” which reflects the city’s
focus on community building and engagement. Neighborhood associations provide several benefits
such as coordinating and hosting community events, community service efforts, and providing a mediating role between neighborhood residents and city staff.
The neighborhood holds meetings which allow residents to increase their awareness and voice their
opinions about goals and activities. Neighborhood leaders connect with other area stakeholders such
as representatives at the Oshkosh Area School District and other local organizations.
The leadership team has made substantial progress and hopes to continue their efforts. Leadership
goals could expand with the introduction of neighborhood block connectors. While connecting
with rental property tenants can be challenging, block connectors work to ensure communication
between area residents and neighborhood leadership. They provide outreach and welcoming efforts for new residents. Connectors link people and assist in building the connections that ensure strong
community building. A group of block connectors can often reach more residents than a single leader
can. The difficulties in connecting with the many residents in rental properties is the multiple renters
in each unit who share a single mailbox, the annual turnover rate, the challenging task to know their
names, ignoring literature delivered door to door, and rarely will anyone will answer the door to interact.
The goal and objectives in this plan encourage the Historic Jackson Neighborhood to take the next
step in community engagement. Each objective includes a series of actions that explain how the
neighborhood may work towards the objective. Some objectives and actions are entirely new and others encourage the neighborhood to capitalize on existing functions. In implementing the actions
suggested in this chapter, HJNA can remain at the forefront of community engagement efforts in
Oshkosh.

During the year long planning process, Planning Services Division staff began tracking
neighborhood-wide assessment data to better understand existing conditions within the Historic
Jackson Neighborhood. The neighborhood assessment is an important baseline inventory that will continue to be tracked to measure the success of programming in the neighborhood. Below
are multiple maps showing available data on existing conditions within the Historic Jackson
Neighborhood.
CDU by Parcel
CDU stands for “Condition – Desirability – Utility”. The code denotes a composite rating of the
overall condition, desirability and usefulness of a property. A property’s rating is established by the
City Assessor Division and is one of the factors used to determine the assessed value of a property.

In spring of 2018, members of the Historic Jackson Planning Team worked with city staff to survey residents living in the neighborhood. The survey asked residents to identify assets they valued
and concerns they felt should be addressed within the neighborhood. Each property within the
neighborhood received a postcard with a link to an online version of the survey. Property owners and
tenants could also contact City staff to obtain a paper copy of the survey. Staff sent out approximately
400 paper copies of the survey which could be returned via a self- addressed envelope. A total of 152 surveys were collected and the following graphs provide an overview of the results. The most
prominant theme found within the open ended questions was the desire to see a higher level of
property maintainance within the neighborhood. Other comments mentioned crime, the desire to get
more involved and anti-rental mentalities.

Q23 Is there anything else you would like us to know about the Historic
Jackson neighborhood?
Answered: 15 Skipped: 17
#RESPONSES DATE
1 Stop the newspapers from littering the lawns 8/8/2019 8:53 AM
2 This is a neighborhood that has been mistreated and disrespected. We are truly a forgotten
population. Speeding, traffic, crime, noise, property maintenance.
8/6/2019 4:08 AM
3 Jackson St was one of the most beautiful streets in Oshkosh with well-built homes and lovely
trees. There was parking and people felt comfortable entertaining large groups of friends and
family. When the city manager and staff determined to build a 4-lane road, residents united to
study an inform themselves and the city why this was unwise, unsafe, and unnecessary. All of
their predictions have come true. The street and neighborhood concerns: 1. Safety- crashes have
increased! Traffic is N/S and E/W. No one is safe. 2. Speeding cannot be controlled due to
engineering 4-lanes. 3. Stability- homeowners abandoned neighborhood, many families with
children sold cheap to the 1st offer just to get out. 4. Home values deteriorated and were
purchased by rental spectators, bough tone day and rental sign up the next day because homes
were in great shape. Very quickly yard work and maintenance were neglected. 5. Car and trucks
were closer to homes and noise increased. Fewer people spent time on front porches, visiting
outside reverted to back yards. 6. Deterioration of well built homes is creeping steadily, historic
district. 7. Rental Takeover is now at almost 70/30 ratio, making it impossible to revitalize a once
beautiful healthy street with historic homes. 8. The city MUST address the 4-lane highway safety
problem that they caused.
8/5/2019 6:58 AM
4 Q10: "Inadequate street lighting" "No" was selected and a handwritten note in the margin stating,
"the lights in the Historic district look great but shine right into your home."
8/1/2019 11:19 AM
5 Q8: "Other buildings in the neighborhood" did not have a category filled in, but handwritten note
that says, "2 that need fixing."

6 JACKSON STREET TRAFFIC IS WAY TOO FAST 8/1/2019 11:05 AM
7 Q19. (cannot afford this, [maintaining/upgrading home] if we could then Yes!, we do what we can
when crazy neighbor isn't waging [wagging] her finger @ us..
8/1/2019 11:00 AM
8 Overall, I am satisfied with this house. However, if we could take this house and move it to a
different location in Oshkosh, we would.
8/1/2019 10:42 AM
9 TRAFFIC IS A MAJOR PROBLEM 8/1/2019 10:29 AM
10 Speeding Traffic 1. Lack of code enforcement for property maintenance and appearance. 2.
Declining property values due to #1, I can't get what my house is worth to make a move ot a
decent city/rural area. 3. Busy speeding street dding problem #2 4. Lack of maintenance, vacuum
storm sewers, maintain to help with flooding water on a regular basis. Paint and maintain
crosswalks. Enforce speed limits. Quit making excuses for snow removal burdon on property
owners, city made street wider, property owners work hard because of it. Many elderly residents
cannot do this by themselves or get screwed paying for it on a fixed income, due to city practices
and lack of wisdom/effort! (And excuses) 5. Best thing about this neighborhood is the quality of
people living in it (85-90% wonderful). 6. Due to conditions on questionnaire, I feel "marooned"
here for life, till I can find a person to pay value of this house (or what it would go for in a decent
city) so I can move on and out!
7/29/2019 7:51 AM
11 Speeding Traffic I believe that the traffic should be addressed on Jackson St. Maybe have a
center turn lane like Murdock. That can help with speed. When I moved here the street wasn't 4
lane. If i had been I never would have moved here.
7/29/2019 7:17 AM
12 Speeding Traffic Speed limit should be 25 and enforced or enforce at 30 speeding and racing
is rampant. We also need marked crosswalks with warning lights too many people do not cross at
main intersections inconvenient. Also, I am confident nothing will be done about the above.
7/29/2019 7:07 AM
13 I live on Jackson St and I like the visibility of Law enforcement.7/26/2019 5:49 AM
14 Crime Pretty sure my neighbors do drugs and their yard is fucking disgusting, dealing with them
to remove stuff from the side of my garage right now because it put a whole in the side.
7/15/2019 1:57 PM
15 Speeding Traffic When answering these questions I based my selections as to my immediate
neighborhood, not within the area you have mapped as the Historic Jackson Neighborhood.
Wisconsin Street between Murdock and New York Streets is in dire need of resurfacing! When we
moved into our house 20 years ago, there was parking on Jackson St. Now that it is 4 lanes, it is
so loud, busy and dangerous to be walking on the sidewalk. Winter is the worst when it comes to
snow. There is very little terrace to put the snow once the plows have been through. The cars don't
move over to the inside lane when people are shoeling. One slip by the person shoveling is going
into traffic! It's not just personal vehicles that do this, but also semis, which continue to speed all
year long. Also, I feel Oshkosh Truck driving their vehicles on Jackson St daily put a lot of wear
and tear on our street.
