The enhancement and protection of Lakewood's neighborhoods are key goals of the City of Lakewood Comprehensive Plan. One avenue for achieving the stated goals is through the neighborhood planning process. Neighborhood planning is a collaborative effort between city staff, residents and property owners of a neighborhood to identify goals to guide the future direction of the neighborhood. This effort helps foster strong communities that are the building blocks of a vital and active city, affords residents the opportunity to become involved in their community, and provides a pro-active, rather than reactive, approach to neighborhood concerns. A neighborhood plan is a policy document that provides guidance to city officials and city staff regarding decisions in a neighborhood and serves as a tool to enhance the character and quality of a neighborhood.

To date, neighborhood plans have been adopted for eight neighborhoods, including the neighborhoods of Molholm/Two Creeks, Edgewood, Jefferson Gardens, Lasley, South Alameda, North Alameda, Eiber, and Morse Park.
