real life scenario!You are heading up a parking plan in x neighborhood. You have 1 year
to assess conditions, develop a plan, and implement it. Here are a few key aspects of the community:
• average age = 35
• dense, mixed-use neighborhood
• semi-active community groups
• busy nightlife scene
• active biking community
• car ownership is low, but parking is in high demand
What outreach tools would you use and why?
