There is an active survey on the DRI Uptown Transportation Project (Schwenk Drive and some intersections) on our new EngageKingston.com site. Go check it out and share your voice!
EngageKingston.com, a new public engagement website, launched today to facilitate and encourage community participation in City projects and initiatives.
EngageKingston.com is a hub where community members can find information about City projects in planning and design phases and provide input to help guide decisions that affect the entire community. Once site visitors register and engage with a project, they will receive updates such as key dates, new participation opportunities, and survey results. The site offers unique interactive tools such as quick polls, mapping, and Q&As. The website has the capability to be immediately translated into 108 languages, creating better access to our government projects for all of Kingston’s diverse residents.
Pilot projects now on the site include the DRI Dietz Stadium\Andretta Pool and Uptown Transportation projects, where residents can weigh in on two surveys about reconfiguring Schwenk Drive and improving three intersections along Clinton Avenue for safety and accessibility. The surveys will be open until June 8.
“We are thrilled to launch EngageKingston.com at a time when reaching the community is even more challenging,” said Mayor Noble. “This interactive site will enable the City to continue engaging the public in meaningful ways through the pandemic, at a time when we cannot hold public meetings.”
More projects will be added to EngageKingston.com regularly, including many of the City’s portfolio of grant-funded transportation and water infrastructure projects, planning documents, housing initiatives, parks and sustainability programs, and more.
