CASE STUDY 1 : ACTIVE STREETS L . A .
Active Streets LA is a partnership between the City of Los Angeles , the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition , and T . R . U . S . T . South LA . The program is developing a process that uses robust community input and engagement to shape the technical side of conceptual design for low-stress , neighborhood network street improvements for people walking and bicycling . This partnership-based model leverages the legitimacy , relationships , and community ties that localized community-based organizations bring to the table , in turn enhancing the conceptual design process and improving our responsiveness to complex community needs and experiences .
CASE STUDY 2 : GREAT STREETS
In 2015 , the Mayor ’ s Great Streets Challenge Grant provided $ 200,000 to community groups for innovative , creative , and authentic community engagement around ideas for street improvements . Grant resources were used for demonstrating potential improvements to street corridors during community street festivals . Artists , small businesses , and local residents hosted engaging activities to draw their neighbors to the street , and then used the audience to educate attendees on the benefits of street transformations and collect surveys on preferences for improvements .
