The South Side Planning Forum was established in 1985 and is the collective voice of the community on issues pertaining to planning policy. The Forum operates as the monitor of the Neighborhood Plan, with cooperation, participation, and input of constituent organizations. Since the Parking Enhancement District (PED) began, monthly reports have been provided by Councilman Bruce Kraus and Allison Harnden, the city’s night time economy manager.

Currently, the forum consists of the following organizations: The Brashear Association, South Side Chamber of Commerce, South Side Community Council and South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association. It also includes sector representation from education, health, religious institutions and the arts.

Meetings occur the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM.  The July and August meetings are combined and occur during the last Tuesday in July.
