Hurdles
Key Points • Communication between city government and
Community • Notification Policies lack robust community
participation response due to old solicitation methods. i.e tiny newspaper notices

are vital • Continual Community Feedback/input for future
projects and long term infrastructure goals assures sustainable infrastructure change that is supported by the community
Community participation is key for successful
