Commonplace Community Input Tool Development

Green DOT Transportation Solutions prepared the 2016 Del Norte Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). As part of the outreach effort for the 2016 RTP, Green DOT helped develop a map-based digital tool for residents to leave feedback directly related to the area of concern using the Commonplace platform. Since the initial development and promotion of the Commonplace tool in 2016, the tool has been leveraged for other planning projects, including the 2017 Pebble Beach Drive Improvement Project and Elk Valley Cross Road Corridor Plan. Commonplace has proven to be an invaluable tool, and several hundred community contributions have been made on the platform since it went live. This web-based tool provides the opportunity for community members to become involved in local matters who may not have the time or ability to attend traditional community meetings.
