ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP
With an extra dose of fun

Today we’re wrapping up our three-week series about the safety demonstration projects from our Washington Complete Streets Leadership Academy. This academy brought together three smaller communities in Washington State with Complete Streets policies already on the books—Airway Heights, Arlington, and Wenatchee—to learn how to design safer streets for all. Through creative placemaking and community engagement, these three cities brought their communities and transportation departments together to try new ideas and gather feedback.

The last profile in our series, Wenatchee<https://default.salsalabs.org/T53a7e303-6eff-4e91-925d-c84a0306a434/b28fce7a-859b-4271-9ad2-c1c9f46b1abd>, targeted improvements to a dangerous intersection in a largely Spanish-speaking neighborhood. Using a thoughtful approach to community engagement and a flexible implementation strategy, the team created a fun environment that successfully brought the community together and helped them gather as much feedback as possible. The result: a stronger case for permanent changes.

Brief changes, lasting impacts

As streets across the country grew more dangerous during the pandemic, these three cities aimed to make their streets safer through quick-build pilot projects. Quick-build projects are temporary, low-cost improvements that tested changes to street design, also known as demonstration projects or tactical urbanism projects. These projects enhanced safety and sparked needed conversations about future changes.
