Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is a nonprofit planning, design and educational organization “dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities.” Check out their toolkit, “Developing Public Participation Tools in Transit-Dependent Communities.” (pdf)
Better Blocks helps communities design events “to enable multi-modal transportation while increasing economic development.” The “Better Block” project combines locally driven programming with multi modal transportation installations so that communities can actively engage in the build-out process and provide feedback in real time.
