This process was the founda- <br />tion of the corridor study and was based on engagement of key stakeholders to identify issues, <br />needs and opportunities in orderto build consensus and garner support toward a select concept <br />alternative. <br />Public Engagement Meaningful engagement was conducted by seeking input from a variety of members of the <br />Jennifer Quayle, Public Engagement public, including downtown business owners and residents, as well as regional users that rely on <br />US 12 for transportation of people and goods throughout the region. Engagement was imple- <br />mented through face-to-face opportunities such as open houses, focus groups, targeted presen- <br />tations, and pop-up community events. Online engagement was facilitated through develop- <br />ment of a custom study website, three online surveys, and social media promotion. <br />5RF Consulting Group, Inc. <br />
