RNA is updating its 2019 Development Framework Plan and we want to hear from neighbors about your priorities. Please give 5-10 minutes of your time to take our survey at tiny.cc/RNAPLAN2026.

Based on community input and analysis of existing conditions, the four goals of the 2019 Ravenswood Development Framework Plan were:

  1. Encourage density and affordability to provide housing for all
  2. Preserve historic buildings and encourage new development to mimic existing character
  3. Maintain a diverse mix of independent, locally owned businesses
  4. Create more avenues for community input on local zoning and development decisions
