Plan Hyde Park

Thank you to everyone who submitted comments about the draft plan. As of January 30, 2026, an updated draft of Plan Hyde Park is now available.
 
Background

Hyde Park is in the process of creating its first comprehensive plan for the neighborhood since 1983. A neighborhood plan is a guiding document for the neighborhood, residents, the city, and developers to make informed decisions.

Our primary goal of the plan is to unite the community under a common vision for the future of the neighborhood and provide a guide for appropriate future development in our neighborhood.  Led by the Hyde Park Neighborhood Council (HPNC), the Steering Committee has been meeting regularly to develop a planning process that engages the large variety of voices in our neighborhood, including residents, property owners, businesses, institutions, visitors, and other stakeholders.

The process to develop Plan Hyde Park officially began at the community-wide Plan Kick-off Meeting, held on Tuesday, June 27, 2017. A draft plan was presented to the community at a public meeting held in January 2020.

In spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic put a temporary pause on the plan. After taking time to get reacquainted with the plan, the Steering Committee and City needed to update the goals and strategies to reflect changes to the neighborhood, including the completion of the portion of Wasson Way within Hyde Park and the adoption of new zoning designations.
