The document provides guidance on transforming a town centre, using Tooting Town Centre as an example. It outlines steps to recognize issues, develop a vision for the future, map out the space, get community input, refine ideas, seek skills and funding, and put proposals to local leaders. Visualizations and an implemented result from a group called Urban Movement are shown as examples. Currently, funding is being sought to create a visualization for proposed plans in Tooting Broadway.

Supporting existing businesses during transit construction is a priority. Transit agencies, regional and city partners across the country have developed a wide array of assistance programs to keep businesses well-positioned during construction. What works? What doesn't? How do you get businesses to take advantage of the programs early and well in advance of construction? Explore a variety of programs with a wide range of services including how to carve out budget for business support initiatives, way-finding/directional signage, marketing, business counseling, technical assistance, loan programs, grants and peer-to-peer forums. Learn how to use support from partners to customize programs for each unique community.

VTA recently released its second “Development Review Annual Report” based on VTA’s review of proposed development and transportation projects throughout Santa Clara County.
VTA reviews and comments on such projects to improve land use/transportation coordination, promote alternative travel modes, and encourage a balanced approach to addressing congestion. VTA prepares quarterly reports about our reviews.
VTA’s new “Development Review Annual Report” for 2015 documents the facts (e.g., projects reviewed and VTA comments) but also interprets the significance of the development activity over the year for VTA and local agencies.
As part of a Coursera class on citizen engagement, this proposal is part of the final project. Can participatory budgeting work for street repair (potholes, sidewalks, etc.)?

I organised and facilitated an online discussion with the Overview and Scrutiny Chairman as part of the ongoing social media engagement pilot. This presents a summary of that online discussion and next steps.
