Overview
Key policy decisions to date regarding scope and funding to address the Johnson Street Bridge have been informed through extensive public input.
Throughout construction, the City will continue provide the public with balanced and objective information and where necessary will obtain public feedback on analysis, alternatives and/or decisions. A variety of communication strategies will be used to maximize the reach of project related information to those who have an interest in staying informed.
The public will be kept informed through:
- project website www.JohnsonStreetBridge.com
- a project webcam and time lapse video
- subscriber eNews
- updates to Council
- the City’s Facebook and Twitter pages
- regular updates to stakeholder groups who are frequent users of the bridge
- a community workshop on the public realm (April 2012 – details TBA)
- targeted consultation with accessibility and cycling groups
- local media
- ads in local papers and radio, as needed to raise awareness about impacts to commuters and neighbours
