1) Select a pilot area: pick one Gainesville road segment/crossing and consider adjacent land uses (residence, campus, shopping stores) and parking areas. 2) Identify stakeholders: list them in a map or a table (name/org, role, why they matter). 3) Draw two charts: ‘Influence–Importance Matrix’ and ‘Power–Interest Grid’ for the stakeholder involved. 4) Workshop invite plan: You have a small budget which can just involve 10-15 people to join the engagement workshop, please name which stakeholder seats you’ll invite and how many per seat? (e.g., City DOT – 2 personal, one is senior project manager, one is an expert in traffic). Please give a reason as well.
A primary responsibility of the City of Gainesville government is to ensure the safety and health of all users of the transportation system. The City Commission adopted a Vision Zero Policy in 2018 with the goal of eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries in the City of Gainesville by 2040. The basic Vision Zero approach is data-driven and integrates education, equity, engineering, evaluation, encouragement and road user compliance into a comprehensive strategy. In recent work, the City of Gainesville has recognized the value of stakeholder collaboration and public participation. As the lead consultant to the City of Gainesville Department of Transportation, you will conduct a participatory street-safety design for one pilot area near the UF campus (check these Implemented projects Links to an external site.).
