Parks & Rec launches PROS master-plan site; commissioners flag search and mobile usability issues
Summary
Staff and consultant Kimley Horn launched the PROS master-plan website (flagstaffpros.com) and survey; commissioners tested the site, praised content, and requested clearer navigation, mobile fixes and links to the JW Powell specific-plan mapping before wider public promotion.
Flagstaff representatives and the commission reviewed the Parks & Recreation (PROS) master-plan outreach materials assembled by consultant Kimley Horn, including an interactive map and survey at flagstaffpros.com. Staff encouraged commissioners and residents to attend public events and use the survey to provide input on a 10–15 year planning horizon. "They put together a very nice website and some outreach material," staff said.
Commissioners and participants then tested the site in real time and reported navigation problems on mobile devices, unclear labeling (comments that "choose your own adventure" could mislead users), and non-obvious survey links. Staff demonstrated that some links require clicking text and committed to emailing the URL to the commission and improving the site's polish and marketing before broad distribution. Commissioners also asked staff to add context or layers (for example, JW Powell specific-plan maps and planned development overlays) to help respondents give informed feedback.
