The project team understands that an integral part of this process is to incorporate “context sensitive” design principles. We are committed to:
- Communicating with all stakeholders early and continuously, and openly and honestly.
- Seeking to understand the community before beginning design.
- Tailoring the public participation process to the project and community.
- Making efficient and effective use of resources (time and budgets) of all involved parties.
- Using a range of tools for communication.
- Listening to and acknowledging concerns and ideas.
- Providing input on how the public input is reflected in the design decisions.
