MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 2 <br />Executive Summary <br />The spring 2019 round of MovingAhead outreach and engagement asked community members to rate <br />and comment on five draft packages of transportation investment options on key corridors, build their <br />own ideal investment package, and tell project staff which criteria were most important to them. An <br />open comment period featured both an in-person open house and an online open house. Engagement <br />efforts built on prior efforts to share new information with residents, solicit feedback on the investment <br />packages, and learn about the concerns and desires of community members considering the investment <br />packages. <br />Through events such as tabling, pop up events on the corridors, presentations to the community, and <br />conversations with community members, MovingAhead team members spent more than 80 hours in the <br />community and reached hundreds of community members. Staff also corresponded with or held <br />meetings with 10 potentially impacted property owners— five of whom were not previously contacted <br />in other outreach efforts. <br />The open houses were advertised on YouTube, Google, Reddit and Facebook. Staff posted static images <br />and videos to social media and boosted the posts to receive additional exposure. Local news covered <br />the comment period through four distinct television interviews and one radio interview. <br />The total attendance of the in-person and online open houses was just over 1,100 (in-person attendees <br />plus unique visitors online). From these participants, the project team received 291 survey submissions. <br />Twenty-two submissions were received on paper at the in-person open house. The rest were received <br />online, from participants who arrived at the survey as follows. <br />Arrived from Submissions <br />MovingAhead website 107 <br />Direct referral (primarily email) 87 <br />Facebook 31 <br />Our Main Street Springfield website 22 <br />YouTube 13 <br />Reddit 6 <br />Google 2 <br />Transit Tomorrow website 1 <br />Total 269 <br /> <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
