Mission consultants push social-pinpoint map and pop-ups to gather safety input
Summary
Consultants said the project is using a live social-pinpoint map, pop-up events and a community survey to capture public safety concerns; staff and council urged clearer labeling and targeted outreach to seniors and apartment residents to increase participation.
Burns & McDonnell described multiple engagement tools the team is using to gather resident input for Mission’s safety plan.
Drew Matrischen, the engagement lead, said the team set a goal of meaningfully engaging 200 residents and reported roughly 127 map pins and 71 survey responses at the time of the presentation. He encouraged council and staff to promote the online tools and attend pop-up events; the team planned a presence at Mission Market the day after the meeting.
Councilmembers asked for clearer guidance on what the social-pinpoint "safety" flag means and requested more on-the-ground outreach to reach seniors and apartment complexes that may not use online tools. Council suggested targeted signs, QR codes at key intersections and handing out flyers at community centers and events such as National Night Out.
Staff said they will distribute flyers and consider paper or board-based options at an October community open house to broaden participation. The consultants said they will clarify the pinpoint categories on the project web page and can provide maps filtered by crash type when requested.
