One of the biggest hurdles in doing urban mountain biking isn’t building the trails. It’s that point between having the idea and getting permission to build. (And yes, you should always have permission first.) There is a need to communicate what your intentions are and what you envision things looking like. Often, the difference between a failed urban mountain biking proposal and a successful one starts, not a public meeting, but in the upfront communication.
Today we will look at two documents that show some great ways to communicate the items or methods of creating great urban mountain biking to the public. We will display them and then talk about what makes them so good Gateway Green – Portland, OR
Part of the ongoing design and implementation of Gateway Green is this draft design presentation. Its designed to communicate where the project is at and where it is going. Also, it allows citizens to see what various proposed items will look like when installed.
What you should copy for your proposals:
Duluth Traverse – Duluth, MN
A mini-master plan for the last section of the Duluth Traverse to be built. Also, as part of this mini-master plan, information about the previous phases of the Duluth Traverse are included. This also allowed some minor changes in the user management techniques that Duluth has previously employed on the Duluth Traverse.
What you should copy for your proposals:
There is a lot to learn from these two documents, so poke thru them to see what could help you create a successful proposal. If these types of documents seem beyond your reach, remember that one of the services provided as part of a Knobbies in the Neighborhood presentation is illustrations, handouts and graphs free of charge. |
