The rapid onset of COVID-19 inspired District 11 to rethink traditional stakeholder engagement in the development of the District Active Transportation Plan and quickly innovate on new approaches in a virtual, socially distant environment. One such tool is QR codes, placed on the ground within the bike and pedestrian right-of-way, where people walking, biking, and rolling can see them and scan with their devices to access the survey, provide responses, and learn about the project. This method to be an effective, low-cost solution for targeted stakeholder outreach with minimal need for installation and upkeep.
