We want to know what you think!
Denison is participating in the 2023 Community Visioning Program. Iowa State University is gathering information from community members to learn your opinions on how to improve the community’s landscape through transportation enhancements. The goal of this project is to develop a landscape plan that illustrates the vision of Denison. Your input is an important part of this process and your ideas about community design and enhancement are valuable to the Denison visioning committee.
Join us for a focus group
In this participatory assessment, we want to find out which factors and conditions affect transportation use in Denison, where these factors and conditions are most prevalent, and how they influence route and transportation choices locally. Because residents have the best knowledge of how Denison’s transportation system works, we use focused, small-group conversations, mapping, and photos of the best and worst to understand local transportation. We conduct focus groups with a variety of user types, including parents, youth, older adults, people with mobility issues, and active recreationists, to identify factors that affect transportation use. We will be conducting school focus groups at Broadway Elementary School, Denison Middle School, and Denison High School on Friday, February 3rd, 2023. Focus Groups for parents, older adults, mobility challenged individuals, active recreationalists, and the steering committee will take place on Saturday, March 4th, 2023 at Denison High School.
