How Unique and Insightful Outreach Can Make Your Complete Streets Projects Successful (Room 608)

Does your project manager receive calls/emails from community members who did not know your agency had a project coming to their neighborhood or on the arterial they commute on as soon as construction starts? Do you have requests to modify designs after they are constructed instead of your community giving the right input during design at the right phase? Come hear about our successful community outreach for a City of Tacoma Streetscape project including bike facilities, pedestrian amenities, and coordination with our transit partners. See how an oversized piƱata, a palm reader, DBE contractor, and others brought the outreach to the community and how it impacted the engineering design in a positive way. Also, share your other creative and unique successes.
