Neighborhood Plans

What is a neighborhood plan? A neighborhood plan is a guide for making future decisions that pertain to the Pinkney neighborhood, what kinds of development activity is appropriate, and what issues Pinkney residents and property owners are concerned about.

The original neighborhood plan was developed in 1978.  In 2018, an updated plan was developed by University of Kansas Urban Planning students together with Pinkney residents and the neighborhood association.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
