I am to herein pleased present the proposed Five Year Capital Plan CP for fiscal years 2011 through 2015 incIusi e
The Plan Capital serves several important functions It allows for critical review ofmajor and expenditures helps to avoid the pitfalls associated with impulsive planning and limited forethought By scheduling expenditures it allows for a more even distribution ofcosts thereby am providing greater budget stability something 1 committed to improving upon every year In addition the Plan for a assessment of Capital provides thorough the state and efficiency of our facilities significant neighborhood improvement programs to clear up and beautify our city and a timely replacement ofessential equipment and facilities
In this administration developing plan my attempted to identify capital projects that represented non major recurring expenditures and to prioritize them according to several criteria First in order to be for inclusion we are eligible considered projects that 1 purchased or undertaken at intervals of not less than five and years 2 have a useful Ii fe of at least ti ve years In we establishing priorities considered the following additional factors 1 projects designed to address concerns eliminate hazardous or reduce s safety conditions the City liability exposure 2 assessment of maintenance of and major repairs to existing City infrastructure or facilities and that are 3 projects environmentaHy sound to reduce the city s carbon footprint and promote energy efficiency while improving neighborhoods
As can see in the you attached plan ve arc seeking authorization for 6 million to conduct a major blight removal demolition and clean up campaign citywide This funding is essential to combat significantly blight compounded by the subprimrmortgage crisis and to improve environmental health conditi f1s We also seek to continue to ftmd new recycling and energy conservation initiatives to tCnll bring long savings to the city The Councii s support ofpast initiatives such as the new toter program resulted in large savings in tippillg fees and Now is time to focus on this issue even more productivity by converting our recycling to a single stream system
we are the cleanest with schools Togethei making Bridgeport greenest safest most affordable city and neighborhoods that improve each year We also seek approval for a historic neighborhood improvement program that will invest 1 million in neighborhood beautification projects 3 million in sidewalk replacements and street scapes and 950 000 in NRZ priority projects to revitalize and beautify our city s biggest assets our neighborhoods The harsh winter has taken a toll on our city s streets and sidewalks and and are repaving maintenance necessary both from a structural and safety point ofview We are seeking 2 5 million in roadway paving in the coming year
This we added year have two significant public work projects which will preserve the historic Freeman Homes and open up waterfront access on Pleasure Beach leveraging federal dollars already obtained through the federal appropriations process
In addition we have included 24 million to move forward with much needed WPCA sewer separation projects We also seek approval for funding major renovations at Dunbar Black Rock and Central High School totaling 24 million our local match to achieve these important Board of Eductlon priorities
As stated above the Capital Plan is an important part of the overall budget process We have tried to balance the immediate and long range capital needs of the City with our financial resources We believe the plan herein effectively balances all competing requirements In with s commitment an keeping my administration to open government we welcome dialogue on the plan and look forward to the opportunity to discuss these projects in greater detail

2 Adaptive Reuse of laroer burJdlnps where appropriate Includlnp adaptIve reuse of Holy Rosary Waltersvllfe and St Charles Schools
Buildings sometimes outlive their economic use This is particularly the case for some of the older Industrial buildings and public buildings that remain on the East Side Building standards for modem Industry are generally different than those of the late 1800s or early 1900s when much of the East Side was first developed It Is more Important today to have space that Is energy efficient flexible and functional With the advent of newer schools such as the Barnum Waltersville School the City has no need to operate schools Ii e the Waltersviffe School When large buildings become vacant for long periods of time they become blights on the neighborhood safety risks and targets for attractive nuisance These properties need to be guided Into a productive use which will often be an adaptive reuse e g conversion of a school Into multl famlly housing units or a factory Into a mlxed use complex for new housing office and retail uses Other examples Include Holy Rosary School previously occupIed by Achievement First and St Cherles School

Efforts need to be concentrated on the promotion of home ownership in the East Side The Bridgeport Neighborhood Trust BNT has established a number of successful programs for promoting affordable home ownership opportunities One of the key elements of these programs is their Comprehensive Homeownership Counseling Program BNT is a HUD approved and CHFA certified housing counseling agency BNT s one on one counseling services provides supprt to first time hornebuyers to obtain the goal of homeownershlp Each client starts an with orientation to determine mortgage readiness and finishes with the equipped Information to purchase In today s market BNT s has three program components individualized one on one counseling monthly 8 Hour Pre Purchase Homeownershlp Class and monthly post clOSing workshops including Foreclosure Prevention Financial Literacy and Landlord To Tenant Training complement Its program the City has selected BNT to be the administrator of Its Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program which will make available up to 25 000 for down payment and closing cost assistance per applicant
The Bridgeport Neighborhood Trust should be Invited to assume a leadership role with the NRZ since the goal of increasing home ownership must be at the forefront of the East Side NRZ process
In addition to home ownership programs the NRZ process should recognize all opportynlUfS for creating various lev fs of home ownership within the East Sfiti Fot exarp1e ai fiultf and to fimliyawellfngs duplexes threeslx family dwellings become available consideration should be given to shared models e condos ownership g cooperatives etc The Mutual Hous ng Association has an excellent track record In developing housing with various ownership models

2 Improve Streetscapes of the East Side Streetscape improvements are needed to soften some of the harsh landscapes that now exist in parts of the East Side ong sections of street that are characterized by rows of brick and frame buildings sidewalks and streets often in disrepair Planting strips throughout the East Side are sometimes nonexistent and often ignored There are not many street trees or landscaped areas to define public entrances to the community These harsh landscapes typically offer no break in the urban appearance of the neighborhood Streetscapes are generally dominated by imposing telephone poles with attached street lights and hanging wires deteriorated and broken sidewalks streets with potholes and few or no street trees In some cases the wrongfYp Qf str et trees were planted and their roots havecgrown a rDkenJectiQ 9f sidewalk In the neighborhood The presence of harsh landscapes sends the strong message that no one cares about this area or worse IIno ohe lives here anymore The buildings tend to deteriorate and the overall appearance Is one of a lackluster uninteresting neighborhood that has been forgotten As part of the NRZ Strategic Plan the Consultant Team evaluated a section of Knowlton Street H 4 4

Sidewalk Improvements The Revitalization Strategy should encourage the use of pavers or alternate paved materials for sidewalk replacement projects in order to bring color and texture to the pedestrian ways throughout the neighborhood The costs of pavers and textured materials are generally higher than bituminous concrete Since available public funding will be limited In coming years the East Side NRZ should concentrate Its efforts In the following way Use of pavers and alternate colors and textures should be the preferred treatment for
all visible public Improvements In the gateway entrance areas 2 areas or projects of publiC gathering such as commercial corridors parks schools and other public buildings and 3 where there Is a significant private Investment In rehabilitation or new constructon Concrete should be used as a preferred material for repair or replacement of sidewalks In disrepair In more remote sections of the neighborhood In general concrete sidewalks should also be used primarily where there are Immediate safety concerns

IX Performance and RevIew Standards
Earlier in this Plan it was recommended that the East Side NRZ adopt an annual work plari The adoption ofthat plan should be a clollaborative exercise by a cross representation of the various neighborhood stakeholders The plan should include specific performance standards te enable a review and assessment of the degree to which the Committee is achiElving the goals of this revitalization strategy During the development of this plan the following performance standards were envisioned as examples of statistics that could be monitored periodically to determine the success of the plan
o Number and percent of properties that are vacant o Number and perc nt of properties that are classified as blighted o Number and percent of housing units that are owner occupied o Number and percent of housing units that are renter occupied o Percent of population below poverty levels o Medlan household Income o Linear feet of sple toth lg e n8I8I w2lt rrri1ta publio o Number of new businesses operating on the East Side o Education Levels and Skll Levels o Crime Statistics o EmploymenVUnemployment Levels
X 8@gulatory Issues
The East Side NRZ Steering Committee should play sin active role in communicating the goals of this Revitalization Strategy to elected officials City agencies and other City leaders As pa t of this role the NRZ should actively partiCipate In public meetings that will affect the future decisions by the Planning and Zoning Commission the Board of Zoning Appeals and other regulatory bodies affecting llhe future land use of the East Side Efforts should be made to encourage or support changes to the CIty s current zoning regulations or chslnges to th City s Zoning Map that could enhance the Implementation of this revItalization strategy Among th m
Zonlno Amendments

Consider for advocating Inclusionary zoning in Bridgeport s Regulations Zoning
Support Zoning Amendments that can support the creation of mixed use as developments envisioned In the s ti the City recentupdate Plan of Conservation and Development

1 Support to the changes Zoning Districts of the City s Zoning Map as contained In the City s recently adopted Plan of Conservation and Development
2 Support the rezoning of waterfront property in thenelghbrohood to discourage the continuation of industrial and heavy commercial uses Models to consider would Include waterfront business districts and mixed use districts that would permit waterfront development uses marinas docks fishing piers boardwalks etc
