Two more public private partnerships using Smith Parker ( http://www.smithparker.com ) as consul are:
Midtown Community Works ( http://www.midtowncommunityworks.org ) which is coordinating the development work associated with the Midtown Greenway, especially Lake Street. Lots of great information, including the development of the commercial nodes and public art efforts.
and in Eric's neck of the woods, The Northwest Corridor Partnership, ( http://www.northwestcorridor.com )

Dave,
After reading further, it appears that residents are a major part of each of the decision making committees. I did not see the 'official' neighborhood organization group listed, but there were the names of plenty of Phillips residents.
You should be applauding this organization.
My only concern is why aren't there more partnerships like this?
