2. I’m concerned about issues in my neighborhood, including trash dumping, unsafe driving like drag racing and speeding, and crime such as gun threats and car break-ins—how does the Memphis 3.0 Plan address these problems? The Memphis 3.0 Plan prioritizes creating safer streets and stronger, more resilient communities where residents feel secure. While it does not directly address specific crime concerns, it provides a framework for creating safer neighborhoods through better street design, housing standards, and community engagement, which can help deter activities like drag racing and reduce crime. Memphis 3.0 is a long-term vision for change, but for immediate concerns, we encourage you to contact the Memphis Police Department's non-emergency line at 545-COPS (545-2677) or attend a local Police Joint Agency meeting to address issues directly with law enforcement.

3. How does the Memphis 3.0 Plan balance neighborhood growth with preserving the character of existing neighborhoods? The Memphis 3.0 Plan strives to balance growth with the preservation of neighborhood character by focusing on strategic development. The plan encourages densification in areas where it supports citywide needs, such as housing and infrastructure, while ensuring that the unique qualities of existing neighborhoods are maintained. The process involves listening to community feedback to guide decisions, ensuring that changes are made thoughtfully and in line with the vision of local residents. This approach aims to foster vibrant, cohesive communities as Memphis continues to grow.

4. How does the Memphis 3.0 Plan address the needs of both renters and potential homeowners? The Memphis 3.0 Plan recognizes that both renters and potential homeowners have unique needs, so it focuses on offering a variety of housing options. The plan aims to provide diverse choices, from rental properties to opportunities for homeownership. This range allows families to find suitable rental homes and, if desired, transition to purchasing a single-family home later on. It also caters to individuals seeking different styles, such as townhouses or single-family homes. By increasing housing diversity, Memphis 3.0 ensures that residents, whether renters or buyers, have more options to meet their housing needs.
