More Tangible Results from University District Partnership!

You may notice signs in a several yards around Broadmoor with the University District Development Corporation (UDDC) logo. 

Very soon, you will see work being done at those homes, such as roof replacement. This is all part of an effort called "SNAP" financed through member banks by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Leg work for the program is being done by UALR staff who work with the University District Development Corporation (UDDC), a not-for-profit organization working toward housing and economic development goals identified in the University District Revitalization Plan and University Strategic Plan. 

Governed by a 15 member board of directors made up of local residents, financial institutions, faith-based organizations, real estate professionals, small business owners and UALR personnel, the UDDC is taking a lead role in the development or redevelopment of housing for first-time home buyers in the University District.

Two members of the Broadmoor Neighborhood board serve on the UDDC board.

The UDDC will meet every second Thursday of the month at 12 noon in the Bailey Center, unless otherwise noted.

Park Security Program

Residents of Broadmoor know how quiet and peaceful our area is. They also appreciate our 10-acre lake and similarly sized park nestled in the center of the neighborhood in the heart of Little Rock. Fishing, boating, and walking are popular activities around the lake, and our park is a great place to picnic and just enjoy a quiet afternoon.

To ensure tranquility in the park, we engage a professional security service to patrol the park and lake area spring through fall each year. You may encounter a uniformed security guard making random rounds in Broadmoor Park.

Expect the guard to strike up a conversation. In addition to deterring would-be mischief-makers by being seen, they will be checking to make sure those using the park, especially fishermen, are Broadmoor residents or are accompanied by someone who calls Broadmoor home.

If out-of-neighborhood fishermen are found or suspected, we will notify the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Wildlife Officers, who have the authority to issue tickets for trespassing.

If you see or hear of any problems in the park, please contact a board member using the contact information at www.broadmoorlr.com.

Sharing the Road in Broadmoor

When the Broadmoor Addition was built in the mid-1950s, families moving here typically had one automobile. Television and air conditioning had not driven everyone permanently inside. People still got out and walked around.

Without the overwhelming volume of vehicle traffic, it did not really matter that the neighborhood did not have sidewalks.

Fast forward to today, EVERYBODY has a car. People zip up and down the street, most of the time on the phone and going too fast.

Here''s a website with some great examples of how we can cooperatively use our streets to drive, walk, bike, and stroll: http://www.ahtd.info/home
