Community Cohesion. The County’s Community Cohesion Strategic Group, which has representation from the LSPs in Norfolk and from the voluntary and community sector, has consolidated work on improving community cohesion outcomes in the county. The Group monitors and reviews an action plan on support for migrant workers, an action plan for support for asylum seekers and refugees, and is beginning a large-scale public involvement initiative for disabled people. The group is also carrying out an impact assessment on the identified outcomes in the LAA, to ensure that the principle of community cohesion is integral. The group is also advising on performance indicators that demonstrate community cohesion.
Community Cohesion. Will the project induce impacts to community cohesion? Yes No If Yes, explain. The project will induce positive impacts throughout the S.R. 0001 , Sections RC1 and RC2 project corridor by incorporating pedestrian access and movement to commercial and business facilities and modal transfer stations where feasible. Within S.R. 0001, Section RC1 corridor, all sidewalks will be replaced in kind and new sidewalks will be added in areas deemed necessary to provide continuity for pedestrians where there are gaps in the existing sidewalks. These areas where new sidewalk is proposed are within the southern portion of the project area, which is commercial in nature, including convenience stores and hotels. ADA ramps will be provided as necessary throughout the Section RC1 corridor to improve accessibility for the surrounding community. Pedestrian and bicycle facility studies are on-going for the S.R. 0001, Section RC2 project study area and they will be completed prior to the start of construction. Within Section RC2, there are transit stops along Xxxxxxxx Drive. The stops will be replaced in kind and discussions will be held with SEPTA regarding the need for additional stops/facilities. Will the project induce impacts to the local tax base or property values? Yes No ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE Is the project exempt from Detailed Project Level Environmental Justice Analysis per Section
Community Cohesion. An LRT down the middle of a highly populated EJ residential and business section of the corridor will create a physical obstacle creating a social barrier between communities north and south of University Avenue. Also, the Aurora St. Anthony neighborhood that was once separated in the 1960’s with the building of the adjacent freeway from the larger Historic African American Rondo community will once again be isolated and sandwiched in between two physical barriers, I-94 and the LRT University Avenue alignment. As a mitigation alternative, take a current revitalizing opportunity to transform the shame of a past transportation development misdeed and turn it into one of healing and restoration. Acknowledge, respect and take responsibility by apologizing for the destruction to the vibrant African American Rondo community due to the construction of I-94. Honor the fact that restoration is owed as a result of the demolishing of a combined 650 homes and businesses. Now, support the growing culturally centered revitalization vision that is supported within the 2006 District 8 Comprehensive Plan and dubbed as a “cultural heritage preservation destination.” Enact to redesign the Dale Avenue intersection and Bridge as a gateway to the heart of the Rondo community. Artistically depict the I-94 story and symbolize the reunification of divided souls. Support current efforts being designed by this community to heal the wounds of this past and create a community controlled Rondo Renaissance Community Restoration Trust Fund through the use of developer exactions, real estate tax transfers or extractions from parking or transit fares not only as an anti-gentrification tool but to help retain the character of the community and to help finance its re-development aspirations (i.e. cultural/history center, small business incubators and below market rate housing).

Community Cohesion. We will work to increase cohesion around our changing population; building a borough based on mutual respect and understanding within and between our diverse communities. We will work in partnership to strengthen the capacity of voluntary sector organisations to deliver citizen-led services and solutions and support self help and community-led activities. We want to continue to make Southwark a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together. Strengthening community cohesion is seen as central to everything we do and will be at the heart of delivering against our LAA impact areas. Whilst delivering our priorities will contribute to strengthening community cohesion it is also important that in designing the action plans to deliver the LAA priorities we consider any impacts on community cohesion. Our success in engaging and empowering communities has recently received external validation by the borough being chosen as one of 18 National Empowerment Champions.

Community Cohesion. Manchester is proud of being a multicultural and diverse city. It is recognised nonetheless that different communities have different needs and these have to be met in ways that do not exclude or alienate others. Initiatives and action being taken through xxxx co-ordination, regeneration, safer neighbourhoods and community engagement are helping to build intelligence and understanding of communities. This in return is empowering communities to work with public and voluntary agencies to identify localised solutions to local problems and identify potential conflicts. Manchester’s approach is to ensure that the new challenges faced by migration and the potential impact on community cohesion are embedded into the activities delivering the Community Strategy. A Manchester Community Cohesion Steering Group (made up of public and voluntary sector representatives) is developing innovative work around welcoming new arrivals into the city, the development of a set of Mancunian values linked to building citizenship, a coherent approach to providing English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and translation provision and an early warning mechanism which enables the Partnership to identify potential tensions or challenges within communities or localities before they emerge. In addition, there are initiatives such as the development of Mancunian Agreements, which will be used as a tool for encouraging local people to be involved in improving their city or local area. At the same time these agreements will enable local people to work jointly with services deliverers in finding local solutions to difficult local issues. Outcomes from this programme will include: - • Improved understanding about the make up of our diverse population • Improved understanding of community cohesion • Benefits of diversity in the city maximised • Enhanced aspirations for communities and individuals • Increased sense of wellbeing and pride Green City In order to keep climate change at a mangeable level over the next 12 years, the city needs to reduce its CO2 emissions by a million tonnes (current emissions are 3.3 million tonnes per year and rising). No city in the UK has a climate change strategy that is truly a citywide strategy. XXXX has agreed to establish an Environment Commission and a Climate Change Agency has been constituted as acting for the combined administrative area. A number of workstreams have been carried forward including an economic impact assessment to determine how we w...
