The project will host focus groups, community meetings, surveys, interviews, office hours and more. Keep an eye on the project website for upcoming events and meetings. Each stage of community engagement will address specific goals and the feedback received will be used to refine recommendations. Initially, engagement is intended to create a shared understanding of the project and process, its parameters, and start to identify issues and opportunities for the project to address. As the project progresses, engagement will focus on evaluating background and peer city research, further defining the issues and opportunities, confirming the problem identification and then evaluating, developing, and providing feedback on alternatives that will solve for the identified goals and objectives. Once a recommended strategy is identified, community feedback will be solicited to fine-tune the strategy. |
