ITEM VIII: APPROVAL OF MENOMINEE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
BACKGROUND
Staff requests approval of the Menominee South Neighborhood Plan,which focuses on the
neighborhood bounded by Washington Avenue on the south, East Broad Street on the west,
Lake Winnebago on the east and Irving Avenue on the north.
Recent efforts by residents, the Menominee South Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh
and partner organizations have centered on enhancing existing assets to provide stability and
ensure the Menominee South 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 Menominee South 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 Menominee South
Neighborhood Association have worked together to develop the Menominee South
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 Menominee South Neighborhood Association with the intent to
support their efforts in addressing neighborhood challenges and promoting reinvestment.
Created during a yearlong resident led planning process;the plan may be used by the
Menominee South 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
Page 1
Management. Individual sections explore each focus area, assess current conditions, and
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 Menominee South Neighborhood Plan,together with a
finding that the identified goals and objectives are not in conflict with the City of Oshkosh's

Neighborhood Planning Process
The neighborhood planning process is a component of the City of Oshkosh's Healthy
Neighborhood Initiative (OHNI) and established in the ONE Oshkosh Strategic Plan.
The process was developed to identify the needs of the residents and establish plans
that serve as frameworks to guide the neighborhood organizations long-term. This
plan contains a clear set of needs, priorities, and goals for the Menominee South
neighborhood. It also includes action items that the residents can employ to respond to
their needs and accomplish their goals. The process leading to the creation of this plan
was resident-led, ensuring the plan's relevance to the residents. Healthy neighborhoods
are essential to the well being of the city at large and are recognized as priorities by
the Common Council. This neighborhood plan, like earlier plans, seeks to eliminate
elements that erode the neighborhood's character while enhancing elements that
contribute positively to the quality of life for current and future residents. Image, Market,
Physical Conditions, and Neighborhood Management are the four focus categories of
new neighborhood plans in Oshkosh. Strategies were created to address neighborhood
needs in these categories. Below are the steps of the neighborhood planning process.

Executive Summary
The Menominee South Neighborhood Plan concentrates on the area bounded by
Washington Avenue on the south, Irving Avenue on the north, Broad Street on the west,
and Lake Winnebago on the east.
In 2014, the City of Oshkosh recognized Menominee South as a neighborhood
association. Since 2014, the Menominee South Neighborhood Association (MSNA) has
worked to serve the residents of the neighborhood. The Association does so in various
capacities such as book clubs, volunteering, Neighborhood Night Out and managing
a community garden. The neighborhood partners with the City of Oshkosh, Greater
Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods Incorporated, and various other stakeholders. In 2017,
the Menominee South Planning Team was formed to conduct the planning process and
improve the stability of the neighborhood.
This document was prepared for the MSNA 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 an eight month resident-led process
and is intended to be used by the MSNA, City of Oshkosh, and other community
partners to ensure the implementation of neighborhood improvements and projects
that meet the needs of Menominee South residents.
The plan includes a history section, information on the neighborhood's demographics,
and assets / opportunities determined during the planning process. This plan then
focuses on four key areas: Image, Market, Physical Conditions, and Neighborhood
Management. Each key area 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. Menominee South 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 Menominee South Neighborhood has existed for several years as an active
neighborhood in the City of Oshkosh. Menominee South has become one of the
most independent neighborhoods in the City. The leadership has worked with City
and GO-HNI staff on several initiatives such as Neighborhood Night Out, fundraising
for playground improvements at Sea Sand and Sailor Land, the Menominee South
Neighborhood Plan, and the Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods Alliance.
In 2017, the City approached the Menominee South Association and asked the
association if its members were interested in creating a neighborhood plan. The
neighborhood was well established and believed they were ready to create a plan to
guide their ongoing and future neighborhood efforts going forward. The leadership
agreed to work with the City on the creation of a neighborhood plan.
The planning process began in fall 2017, and continued throughout 2018. UW-Oshkosh
students assisted in preliminary research and data collection, and the neighborhood
leadership assisted City staff in assembling a leadership team that would work with City
staff in creating the plan.
The neighborhood and City staff held several meetings to create content for the plan.
After each meeting City staff drafted plan content based on input received from the
neighborhood. The consensus among the residents was that the Menominee South
Neighborhood has much to offer current and new residents but that there are areas
where potential for improvement exists.
Neighborhood plans offer guidance and serve as roadmaps for their associations over
a period of many years. The plans are recognized by the Plan Commission and City
Council, and include a baseline and data detailing the neighborhood's status at the
plan's formation, and action items to help a neighborhood maintain or improve upon
various aspects. The goal of City staff over the next five or more years is that this plan
will inform the actions of the Menominee South Neighborhood as the neighborhood
seeks to improve as a great place to live, work, and play in Oshkosh.

Monroe Street and Merritt Avenue, looking southeast towards St. Mary's Catholic Church, 1909
The Menominee South Neighborhood Association was officially recognized by the City of
Oshkosh in 2014. It was named after its proximity to Menominee Park. It is bounded by
Washington Avenue on the south, Broad Street to the west, Lake Winnebago to the east,
and Irving Avenue to the north. This neighborhood was originally located in the 11 th ward.
Menominee Park was named for the Native American people who once inhabited the area.
The word Menominee means "wild rice gatherers." Originally called North Park, the park was
renamed in 1911 when Colonel John Hicks gave the city the statue of Menominee Chief
Oshkosh. Mayor Ephraim Stevens convinced the city to purchase the land in 1899 from Lucius
Miller, Sixth District congressman. The purchase was not without controversy. People thought
the land too swampy and the price too high. Some residents wanted development rather
than a park, but Mayor Stevens succeeded. The park was expanded in 1905 through an
anonymous bequest and was greatly enlarged in 1933 with Depression era Federal Funding.
Menominee Park totals approximately 109 acres with roughly 2.4 miles of shoreline and
2.9 miles of walking trails. Land use around the park is predominantly residential with the
exception of Webster Stanley Middle School and Bella Vista Senior Living. The park offers two
lagoons, an amusement area, the Menominee Park Zoo, play equipment areas, competitive
and recreational ball fields, boat landings, swimming beaches, hard court sports, shelters,
restrooms, utility structures, fishing piers, etc.
The Menominee Park Zoo, one of the best free zoos in Wisconsin, resides on 3.8 acres of land
within the Menominee Park since 1945. The Zoo entertains and educates over 100,000 visitors

Menominee Park taken from the former water tower at the water plant, 1916
annually and operates on a seasonal basis. The animal exhibit area is further defined by a 2.4
acre pond in the center of the property. Game birds, river otters and wolves belong to the
zoo and other domestic animals and exotic animals are leased during the summer months
(May through September). Because of the location and great habitat many native animals
just show up and visit from time to time including: muskrats, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, water
fowl and turkeys. The City of Oshkosh is located in a unique geographical and ecological
area which was impacted by glaciers. The receding glaciers left rock hills, broad sandy
valleys and numerous lakes and streams and the terrain supported hardwood forests, prairies
and an abundance of wetlands. These ecological factors provided an optimal habitat for
a wide variety of animal species including; bear, elk, bison, red fox, mink, otter, big cats,
river otters, coyote, wolves, skunk, raccoon, badger, prairie dogs and numerous game birds.
The abundance of birds and animals made the region a hotspot for hunting, trapping, and
trading during the mid-seventeenth century.
The Camp Bragg Memorial site, established in 1915, features a plaque indicating the historic
connection the site has to the Civil War. The plaque reads, "near this spot in the autumn
of 1862 the 21 st and 32nd Regiments Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry were encamped for
organization before proceeding to the front". A series of historic canons and the plaque can
be found on the southwest corner of Hazel Street and Irving Avenue
Washington Avenue Historic District was recognized on the National Register of Historic
Places in May of 1986 and recognized on the State Register of Historic Places in January of
1989. The district is roughly bound by Merritt Avenue, Linde and Lampert Streets, Washington

Avenue and Bowen Street. The district includes 118 contributing buildings from the
architecturally significant period between 1870 and 1929.
Master architect William Waters built The Waters in 1903 as the Oshkosh Yacht Club. The
Georgian Revival building was regarded as the finest clubhouse in the Midwest. Decades
later, members of American Legion Post 70 bought The Waters and used it as a clubhouse for
more than 60 years. In 2008, restorations returned The Waters to its original Georgian Revival
architecture. Though it's now a year-round special events venue, the American Legion and
the Oshkosh Yacht Club still call The Waters home.
The Richard Guenther House, (1200 Washington Avenue) located on the northeast corner of
Hazel Street and Washington Avenue, was built in 1888. This William Waters designed house
served as one of the earliest hospitals in the city. Richard Guenther was a mining engineer
and congressman of the Second Wisconsin Distirct.
The Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh was founded as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization in 1968,
and the doors officially opened in 1970 at Main Street and Merritt Avenue. Since then, the
Club has proved to be an essential organization in the Oshkosh community.
In 1988 the Boys Club of Oshkosh began after-school programs in local elementary schools.
In 1992 the "Campaign for Kids" raised $1 .7 million dollars to construct a new facility. The
Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh moved to their new and current facility at Parkway Avenue and
Broad Street the following year.

Mercy Hospital located at the north west corner of Hazel and Parkway, 1921
The Oshkosh / Winnebago County Housing Authority is located at 600 Merritt Avenue and
offers a number of programs for the community. Their services include providing affordable
rental housing assistance, homebuyer support, and resident services to low and moderately
low income families living in Winnebago County. Formed in 1970, The Housing Authority
now maintains over 650 Public Housing units including family, single, disabled, and elderly
units, administers over 400 Housing Choice Vouchers, owns and maintains the properties
of multiple group homes, coordinates a family self-sufficiency program, and facilitates the
county's home ownership program.
Mercy Hospital on Hazel Street was designed by William Waters and built by C. R. Meyer &
Sons Company in 1912 and completed in 1913 through the efforts of Dr. Michael E. Corbett
and was originally named Lakeside Sanitarium. In 1918 Lakeside became the property of
the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother who renamed it Mercy Hospital. In 1922 the Sisters began
working on a much needed expansion. The North wing was added to the hospital increasing
the capacity to 150 beds. At this time the chapel, convent, laundry and powerhouse were
built. The original building is completely encased in this addition. With the passing of time,
the size of the hospital was again found insufficient to meet the needs of the community
and in 1938 the south wing was added bringing capacity to two hundred and fourteen. The
building was last used as a hospital in 2000 when the new Mercy Hospital on Oakwood Road
was completed. The building is currently used to house Bella Vista senior living facility and
apartments.
In more recent years, the neighborhood association has been active in event planning and
collaborating with the City of Oshkosh on projects like Sea, Sand and Sailor Land playground
improvements, Community Gardens, and Neighborhood Night Out.

Dian Development
The development of the Menominee South neighborhood plan began in fall of 2017. By
January 25th, 2018, the neighborhood planning team was developed. A neighborhood
survey was developed in May of 2018. Data collection on the existing physical
conditions of the parcels occurred during the fall of 2017 and completed by November.
Analysis of survey results occurred in October of 2017.
In January, 2018, city staff and residents met to start creating a plan for Menominee
South. A Visioning session was scheduled for April 5th, 2018. Residents began to identify
what they valued most about the Menominee South neighborhood (Assets) and
Opportunities for improvement in the neighborhood. 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 Menominee
South. 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 May - November, 2018 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.

Neighborhood Image is an important factor in why a neighborhood is successful or not
in the attraction and retention of residents. Image pertains to a person's perceptions
of the neighborhood in question, and a neighborhood with a strong positive image
will correspond with strong positive perceptions in the minds of its residents, community
residents, and visitors from outside the community. The neighborhood planning process
examines image and what positive or negative factors contribute or detract from the
neighborhood image.
The Menominee South Neighborhood contains a rich tapestry of amenities commonly
enjoyed by neighborhood residents and the community beyond. The neighborhood
enjoys its cultural resources such as the Waters and several William Waters-designed
homes. The south edge of the neighborhood includes additional historic homes located
within the Washington Avenue Historic District. Additional cultural resources include the
first-hand spoken stories from longtime neighborhood residents.
Residents have explained that Menominee Park and the Menominee Zoo are often
frequented locations within the neighborhood. Lake Winnebago lies on the eastern
edge of the neighborhood and is an important water feature easily accessed from
various locations. The Boys and Girls Club and Bella Vista are additional assets that
ensure the neighborhood has amenities for all age groups. The neighborhood's close
proximity to the lake and downtown puts it within range of additional entertainment,
historic, civic, and cultural resources.
Along with the many amenities that residents considered strengths contributing to
the Menominee South image, a number of opportunities for improvement stood out.
Residents mentioned that a number of properties could benefit from more maintenance
and correspondingly improve the neighborhood image. The railroad is a divider that
runs through the neighborhood. Residents explained that increased screening would
beautify the land along the tracks. Areas along the shoreline could also benefit from
the beautification or removal of concrete barricades. This plan chapter presents a
series of objectives and action items that can build upon the neighborhood's existing
strengths to improve its perceptions and resultant image.

The Menominee South Neighborhood is only a five minute car ride to Downtown Oshkosh.
The diverse residents enjoy access to recreation, employment opportunities, and affordable
housing options. The neighborhood contains approximately 1 ,104 housing units which are
occupied by young families and senior citizens, who take advantage of ample recreation
opportunities.
Located a reasonable distance from downtown, these residents can choose to enjoy the
convenience of an urban lifestyle. At the end of 2018, the average household income
in the Menominee South neighborhood was $32,880 and the median home value was
approximately $107,192. The average age of residents living in the Menominee South
neighborhood was 38.9 years old which is slightly above the average age of Oshkosh
residents city-wide which is approximately 34.7 years old.
Based on conversations during the planning process, neighborhood representatives felt
the Menominee South neighborhood has an obligation to help preserve the historic nature
that many of the neighborhood house have. The Washington Avenue Historic District was
highlighted as a valuable feature that anchors the neighborhood. Additionally, properties
that frame Menominee Park have a reputation of being well maintained with historic
character. As investment continues to occur in the Menominee South Neighborhood it will
be important to ensure long term residents are able to continue to afford the neighborhood.
Additional opportunities to improve the residential and commercial markets within the
Menominee South neighborhood were identified throughout the planning process. Some
examples include:
1. Redevelopment of housing along Broad Street and the railroad tracks.
2. Encouraging commercial facade improvement projects throughout the neighborhood to
portray pride of place.
3. Promote curb appeal efforts of the Bowen Street corridor as a gateway to the
neighborhood.
4. Encourage involvement in the potential redevelopment of the vacant properties located
along Grove Street.

Throughout the planning process there were many conversations regarding the quality of
existing streets and sidewalks within the Menominee South Neighborhood. The desire to
provide a high level of public utilities is consistent with the City of Oshkosh Comprehensive
Plan. The City's Proposed 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes public
projects within the Menominee South Neighborhood. The city will upgrade underground
utilities on portions of Hazel Street and Bowen Street. It will be important that residents are
engaged as improvements move forward.
Menominee Park is a focal point of the neighborhood and a regional amenity. The
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) is a formal document designed to assist
Oshkosh in the development of park and open space amenities that satisfy the needs of
our citizens. The City of Oshkosh uses the CORP to help guide decisions. The plan provides
a means of identifying, analyzing, promoting, and responding to changes in society, both
present and future. The original plan was adopted in 2011 and was updated in 2018. The
Menominee Park Master Plan was developed in 2012 and includes more specific goals
and objectives for Menominee Park. The Menominee Park Zoo Master Plan is a separate
planning document for the Menominee Park Zoo developed in 2014.
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 1 Bowen/ Hazel 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 Menominee
South 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 Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan was adopted in 2011 and
recommends strategies for improving bicycle and pedestrian transportation throughout the
Oshkosh area. Menominee South residents indicated a strong desire for a safe, efficient
and diverse transportation network within the neighborhood to support the active residents
that live there. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan recommends bike routes for
Hazel Street, Bowen Street, and Washington Avenue. The neighborhood currently has bike
lanes on Irving Avenue and recreational trails through Menominee Park. In the surrounding
neighborhoods additional bicycle infrastructure is proposed on Frankfort Street, Rosalia
Street, and School Avenue. The recommended type of bike facility to be installed is
indicated on the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan Recommended Facilities map in Appendix D.

The Canadian National Railway Company runs north and south on the western border of
the neighborhood. East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission granted the City
of Oshkosh technical services to help develop a railroad mitigation plan for the portion of
railroad which bisects the center city. The planning process will begin in fall of 2018. The
neighborhood has discussed the impacts of the railroad's noise, aesthetics, and crossings on
their quality of life.
In the fall of 2017, 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 and windows
on residential buildings.

Many factors can contribute towards retaining neighborhood residents in a community.
Residents in the Oshkosh community recognize the benefits of community-building and
engagement. Consequently, the goal of facilitating a strong sense of community is
outlined in the ONE Oshkosh Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan includes an entire section
called "Strengthen Neighborhoods." The plan reflects the city's increased focus on
community building and engagement in the past few years. 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 Menominee South Neighborhood is an active and established association.
Neighborhood leaders make efforts to meet new residents and get to know them.
Menominee South annually participates in the Neighborhood Night Out event and at the
Oshkosh State of the City. Leaders from the neighborhood maintain an active presence
at monthly Healthy Neighborhoods Alliance meetings organized through GO-HNI.
Additionally, they have supported and worked with other neighborhood leaders in the
city.
The neighborhood engages in outreach efforts to residents with neighborhood meetings
which allow residents to increase their awareness and voice their opinions of pertinent
issues and events. Neighborhood leaders are connected with other area stakeholders
such as representatives at the Bella Vista and other local businesses.
The leadership team has made substantial progress but can continue their efforts.
Leadership efforts could expand with the introduction of neighborhood block
connectors. 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 the association leaders can by themselves.

Survev Data
In spring of 2018, members of the Menominee South 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.

# RESPONSES DATE
1 Living on Washington Avenue is an oasis,with fantastic neighbors.The property owners on many 9/3/2018 7:13 PM
surrounding streets need assistance and/or requirements to improve their properties,or the
surrounding blight will overcome one of the most beautiful areas of our city.
2 My responses are based on my immediate neighborhood; including Washington east from Bowen 8/31/2018 2:02 PM
and Merritt wast from Hazel.There are significant parts of the"neighborhood"in need of attention
and generally the central part of the"neighborhood"as outlined on the map.
3 The neighborhood is quite large so in some areas the houses,roads,access,care,etc.are very 8/30/2018 2:20 PM
good,but in others they are clearly struggling. How can the neighborhood come together?
4 it needs better lighting or more poles lit or stronger light fixtures. More trees and public 8/30/2018 8:30 AM
landscaping.
5 speeding 8/30/2018 8:23 AM
6 The train schedule is frequent!Causing frequent traffic delays. 8/17/2018 3:14 PM
7 closer grocery store would be great.also the train stops on the tracks too often. 8/10/2018 7:59 AM
8 This used to be a great neighborhood when families owned houses efore landlords bought up 8/10/2018 7:55 AM
places and started renting to people with criminal records. There have been drug busts/raids gang
type activity that have moved in an the policy/city are trying to work on ridding the nhood of them.
There needs to be more social gatherings done to bring back the sense of community. It goes in
cycles but if the landlords of a place isn't doing his her due diligence,of not renting to criminals,
then this area will keep going down hill. Nhood watches need to make a better comeback. In the 14
years that we've lived here,we've only gotten one crime watch notice ONCE!Oshkosh has so
much history and its becoming lost.We need our nhood spruced up so people/communities have a
sense of pride in their homes.
9 Speeding.They think it's a race track. Loud music in cars waiting for trains, rattle my windows. 8/7/2018 8:42 AM
10 fairly good NE of Bowen and Washington 8/7/2018 8:25 AM
11 Streets need to be maintained, underground utilities. Bump(speed)around the park and on Hazel. 8/7/2018 7:21 AM
12 not sure why little trees were planted under big trees and some areas could use trees. I would like 7/30/2018 11:00 AM
recycling pickup every week,since most things are recyclable now.
13 1 consider myself a resident of Oshkosh and not the Men South neighborhood. I am happy to see 7/26/2018 10:07 AM
things done in my neighborhood but am just as happy to see things done in other neighborhoods.
14 1 love living here.Jeff Mauch 621 Bowen 7/17/2018 10:12 AM
15 This was an extremely difficult survey to complete,as this district contains rundown houses, 7/16/2018 9:31 AM
rentals and apartments, but also beautiful historic homes.There is no consistency in this zone.To
be honest.We don't feel safe walking/biking in the many of these neighborhoods so we stay on
our street,Washington Ave..
16 Why is the north side of Washington Avenue part of the Menominee South NA,while the south 7/9/2018 9:38 AM
side is with Stevens Park NA?For over five years,the SPNA Welcomed me with open arms,then
I was told I was part of the MSNA, based on my side of the street. Makes no sense to split the
street down the middle. It tends to divide the neighbors. I would rather be with Stevens Park,along
with my neighbors on the other side.
17 Police monitor for speeding on Bowen at end by Piggly Wiggly,further up street all hours speeding 7/9/2018 7:34 AM
is bad.
18 Find it odd that there are no trash cans near/around the park/neighborhood. 7/5/2018 1:32 PM
19 I'm fortunate and blessed to live on Washington Avenue. 7/3/2018 2:33 PM
72
20 We live very close to the park and,generally,the homes are well cared for.There are homes 7/3/2018 9:50 AM
further away,west of Bowen,that are not as well kept.
21 1 love the Neighborhood Next Door site/app feel more connected. Question 21."There are few or 7/3/2018 9:28 AM
no vacant lots that should be put to better use in my neighborhood." 1 Vacant lot on Bowen toward
Merritt/Bowen Corner.
22 The biggest struggle over the last 19 years we've lived here has been renters and rental property. 7/3/2018 9:22 AM
Generally speaking, homeowners do pretty well maintaining their property.The other issue has
been the multitude of vacant lots surrounding the old hospital. I love my house,and I love being in
the older part of town. I hate that I feel like I live on the cusp of the ghetto. :( It wasn't like that
when we moved in back in '99. Back then Mercy Hospital was still here,and most property was
owner occupied. Then the hospital moved and the city largely forgot/ignored the area for a good
decade. Now I'm starting to see an upswing, but I fear it's too slow to matter.
23 1 love this/my neighborhood. I am worried about some of the rentals on different streets that are 7/3/2018 9:11 AM
close. There is an apartment building that has been a known drug place.Also the roads are
deteriorating.
24 The neighborhood has gone downhill even since the prison was built.There have been at least 3 7/3/2018 9:07 AM
drug houses on my block alone that I know of,a stabbing,and a shooting. The local schools have
also suffered.The best thing the city could do is to close the prison!!!
25 Overall it's a nice place to live:-) 7/3/2018 9:00 AM
26 Hosting an historic district(s), interesting architecture,famous personalities,from the beginnings of 7/3/2018 8:31 AM
Oshkosh, perhaps the city of Oshkosh might value the past by paying homage in a book,website,
etc.. Force slumlords on Bowen, &W.of Bowen to fix their properties,and be held accountable for
the behavior of the delinquent tenants.Brings the city and neighborhood down.
27 This is a more diverse neighborhood as compared to the city in general. Maintaining the unique 7/2/2018 11:06 AM
qualities of this neighborhoods(historic and original homes)should be valued by the city. This is a
neighborhood and should not be treated as a thorough fare for the rest of the city.
28 no 7/2/2018 10:54 AM
29 referred to as"ghetto"of oshkosh d/t/residents,and overall appearance compared to other part of 7/2/2018 10:39 AM
the city.Attracts lower income housing/renters who don't care or can't afford to make changes.
30 1 would like Menominee Park to feel more safe.A bike cop or patrol car would be helpful. 6/29/2018 3:22 PM
31 1 am 84 and need to drive to:grocery store,gas station,doctors,church. I don't know how much 6/29/2018 3:17 PM
longer I shall be able to drive.
32 put up signs for people to slow down! 6/28/2018 2:08 PM
33 The city started a"get tougher"policy on landlords but seems to be slacking off. Now that the 6/26/2018 3:12 PM
drughouse that existed for years is gone,all the places in poor shape are landlord owned. Please
help!
34 Fix Washington Ave. Fix homes in poor condition. Make sure people maintain property both winter 6/26/2018 3:06 PM
and summer.
35 As a whole, I am happy with the neighborhood. There are some issues with speeding on E Irving 6/26/2018 3:01 PM
and near the park where my home is located. Maybe more of a police presence would help. Some
houses could use some work especially rentals.
36 Peaceful neighborhood on Grove Street except for the barking dogs. Mostly home-owners which 6/25/2018 10:30 AM
makes it nice. Habitat for Humanity built duplex on Grove and Parkway should have included
lawnmower.
37 To much crime and not near anything since all the main stuff are near or off hwy 41 6/25/2018 8:33 AM
38 Building codes and the way the building permits are handled are a problem.We think the whole 6/25/2018 8:13 AM
process is a problem. Needs review.A lot of houses would benefit on a better system.You
shouldn't have to know someone to get things done. There should not be grandfathered codes or
once repair that,you should fall in the code as everyone else.
39 1 just hope they are keeping an eye out for drug related homes. Hoping the Carriage House has 6/22/2018 1:22 PM
cleaned up.
40 organized recycling in Menominee park 6/22/2018 11:47 AM
73
41 Fixing the streets. 6/20/2018 12:22 PM
42 1 would ask why almost all the homes in the area have lead pipes that connect the houses to the 6/20/2018 12:15 PM
main. This area cannot afford the switch even with the grant.We have the same issue as Flint, MI
and it's swept under the carpet.
43 The biggest nuisance,or problem, is the amount of loud vehicles.These(mostly trucks and 6/20/2018 12:10 PM
motorcycles),are intentionally made loud and disrupt what was once a very quiet neighborhood. I
don't know why this is not illegal or enforced.That's why I want to move.Thank You.
44 The RR and draw bridges are inconvenient-and frequently delay us. 6/20/2018 12:05 PM
45 Get rid of Sawdust Days! 6/20/2018 12:01 PM
46 Sawdust Day is nuts on Linde. Signs for no parking stolen before we know it. Both sides are 6/20/2018 10:15 AM
parked in. Plowing on Linde is one the last done plow broke out curb we reported it never fixed.
Those who have kept up their homes should be rewarded.
47 Too may rental properties and iffy people starting to move into the neighborhood. Having a 6/20/2018 10:06 AM
negative effect.
48 The biggest problem properties seem to be the rentals. 6/20/2018 10:06 AM
49 Safety is a big factor for me. I hope the gang activity in Menominee Park and area will be a 6/20/2018 10:01 AM
concern for the City and controlled.
50 Question 14"Public Utilities,such as water,electric,and gas"Water rated as very poor, Electric 6/20/2018 9:56 AM
and Gas rated as Very good. Question 22: It isn't safe for walking at night for unarmed persons.
Too many thugs out at night(But why not?They don't have to get up for work!)
51 1 love this place,we live on Washington Ave,such wonderful neighbors 6/20/2018 9:48 AM
52 Taxes are too high! 6/20/2018 8:47 AM
53 There seems to be a lot of police response in nearby dwellings. 6/20/2018 8:41 AM
54 This area is very mixed as to quality of homes and diversity of cultures. Menominee Park makes 6/20/2018 8:36 AM
living here worthwhile for me. I enjoy the diversity. Please try to imagine the physical improvement
of this neighborhood if the power lines were to be buried!
55 No 6/20/2018 8:19 AM
56 Nothing 6/20/2018 8:13 AM
57 It's a nice place to live. I feel safe on my street, but there are areas that need attention. Oshkosh 6/20/2018 8:08 AM
needs to start enforcing some more codes for home owners so they either fix their properties or
leave.And Sawdust Days needs to be revamped or ended.
58 Some things are postitive,some improvements in past years, Need to do more to get rid of 6/20/2018 7:33 AM
criminals and drug dealers.And get more landlords to fix up their rentals.The neighborhood could
be the next good place for young people and families to move to and invest in. If the city creates
more incentives to do so. It can be done, I've seen it in other cities.
59 1 truly enjoy living in this neighborhood because of my neighbors and closeness to Menominee 6/19/2018 10:41 AM
Park and the library. On the negative side is the rise in crime/drug problems.
60 get rid of drug dealers, uses. Slow down signs, police patrol more, lots of drugs, lot of children 6/19/2018 10:36 AM
playing people need to slow down.
61 Too Much Drug Activity 6/19/2018 10:24 AM
62 This neighborhood need a lot of TLC and not always public space. Many neighbors are on a fixed- 6/19/2018 10:09 AM
low income and need help to fix up their property.
63 Clean up all junk along tracks in between Parkway and Merritt,old barricades,tires,etc. left there 6/19/2018 9:59 AM
for years,5 at least.
64 Don't need city fining landlords on needless fines.A back door tax on landlords that gets handed 6/19/2018 9:54 AM
down to the renters.Already laws in place for bad landlords.
65 Neighbors are not friendly. 6/19/2018 7:44 AM
74
66 The neighborhood is divided between the haves and the have nots going from east to west.The 6/19/2018 7:27 AM
Neighborhood Associations appears to have a primarily social agenda. For example,they are not
interested in crime. Does Sawdust Days detract from the quality of life in the neighborhood?
Should the Menominee South Neighborhood get involved in supporting candidates for Common
Council?The Police, Fire Dept., Sanitation, Streets Maintenance,the city clerk and all city
employees deserve high praise. They are helpful and courteous. I do not think the Common
Council or its attorney deserve the same respect.
67 1 think the neighborhood should qualify for low interest loan with the city to repair roofs, painting 6/18/2018 3:19 PM
and structural damage. I'm 76 years old and have disabled son who lives with me.
68 Moved here 37 years ago to be close to work-intending to live here only until we could afford to 6/18/2018 2:40 PM
move to a more rural area.We could never afford to move, however, my husband's employer
moved its facility 25 years ago,and so he has a 50 mile commute.The neighborhood has,with a
few exceptions,declined.There are more rental units.Three years ago,a rental house a block
south of us housed a number of adults,two of of whom would go pan-handling through the
neighborhood.There have been quite a few sex offenders housed within a block of our home,at a
higher rate than in other parts of the city. Our immediate neighbors have serious domestic
problems that result in regular police contact.The situation is bad enough that two"desirable"
neighbors have moved away in the past year. Sawdust Days attracts drugs,drink and traffic to our
busy street.We spend as little time as possible at home and are not looking forward to"aging in
place".
69 Keep sports complex out of Menominee Park,especially along Hazel Street,as there are 6/1 5/201 8 8:24 AM
inadequate ancillary facilities(parking,et cetera)to support it
70 There are a lot of run down houses and rentals in the area. Bowen has crazy,fast drivers and we 6/14/2018 5:00 PM
will look to move when we have children. I hear about a lot of scary situations over here. I'd love to
stay if these things improved and I'd be happy to be apart of the process. I'm just now sure how to
get involved.

Appendix C
Crime Data
Between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017 there was minimal change in police calls for service within
the Menominee South Neighborhood (includes both field initiated and dispatched calls). There was a slight
spike in calls during 2012, which is consistent with the city's overall crime rate trend. In 2017 there was a total
of 1772 field initiated and dispatched calls within the Menominee South Neighborhood.
W
A summary of field initiated and dispatched calls by event type during the same time period is included
below. The data shows there were more general assist calls than person vs. person crimes (battery, domestics,
robbery, sex offenses, harassment, etc) and property crimes (damage to property, theft, auto theft, burglary)
combined. General assist and crime prevention calls are likely a result of proactive crime watch efforts and
resident's willingness to report suspicious activity.
Trends in crime data for each event type listed above can be found on the pages that follow.
