Successful Community Participation in Local Traffic Proposals

摘要

this paper examines the successes and failures of intensive community involvement in redesigning city streets. It examines the progress of an ongoing study of traffic and parking in the architecturally sensitive conservation area of Clifton, Bristol. It illustrates how all sections of the community can work together with the local authority to recognise issues, examine potions and reach an agreed action plan. The process was not trouble free. Difficulties arose as the Implications of the detailed proposals became clear to the wider Public and the realisation that work would shortly commence in their Street. The paper explains how different types of people become Involved in the project as work progresses from the strategic level to Detailed design and implementation.
