Local Efforts
|
The Great Communities Collaborative’s main efforts are aimed at neighborhoods doing planning around transit station areas. We want to ensure that these communities have the tools to relieve the housing crisis, improve our neighborhoods, and make the best use of the public investment in transit. At this local level, we promote public participation in the planning process and offer focused, strategic assistance and tools to local groups and leaders. If you think there's another station planning process that we should be involved with, please contact us! |

How We Decide Where to Get Involved
There are
dozens of land use planning processes underway and dozens more expected to start
soon in neighborhoods near transit. With so many planning processes, Collaborative partners must be
selective in determining in which planning processes to engage. We want to
select station areas where there is the greatest potential to achieve visible
results in a reasonable time and serve as models for the dozens of plans
underway or in the pipeline. To ensure we direct our energies most effectively, Collaborative partners have developed guidelines that help us determine where and how to be involved. Once a year, we review our opportunities and resources, and decide what other station planning efforts to engage in.
