Mobility & Field Engagement
Every comment about a corridor should arrive with its location.
A corridor study is a narrow question asked along a long line. The input only becomes usable when it is attached to the segment, intersection or driveway it is about, and separated by the mode it was given for.
Where corridor feedback is lost
- 01
A paragraph where a place is needed
"The crossing by the school is dangerous" is a sentence someone has to locate. The same comment placed on that crossing is a record that can be joined to the network.
- 02
Four modes, one comment box
People who walk, cycle, drive and take transit describe the same street differently. In one undifferentiated list, the differences disappear.
- 03
Trade-offs described instead of chosen
Lane widths, parking and crossings are choices between options. An open comment period collects opinions about the choice rather than a distribution across it.
Four products, one record.
Each part of the platform does one job in the sequence, and the record stays in the same project throughout.
A map activity over the study area with categories for access, safety, crossings and mobility, plus surveys that put the cross-sections and options in front of people.
The public page for the study, carrying the map, the exhibits and the dated updates the corridor will need across its life.
Groups the comments by the category and the place they carry, and drafts what the corridor record appears to say, for staff to check.
Corridor exhibits and cross-section graphics, when the study needs to be argued visually.
From a published map to an analysed record
Four stages, and the coordinates survive all of them.
- 01
Publish the corridor and the categories
The study area goes up with a map activity that asks for one kind of comment at a time: a crossing, an access point, a gap in the sidewalk, a place that feels unsafe.
- 02
Ask by mode and by place
Each mark carries its category, so a walking comment and a freight comment are told apart before anyone reads them.
- 03
Show the options rather than describing them
Cross-sections and alternatives go up as survey questions, so people choose between the real options and the result is a distribution rather than a set of objections.
- 04
Review by segment, export for the analysis
Staff read comments grouped by where they landed, and the export carries the position of each mark for the GIS work.
