AVOID THE SINS OF THE PAST BY GETTING
MEANINGFUL INPUT FROM MARGINALIZED PEOPLE
Community groups, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, national parks, plus local, state and federal agencies can apply for technical assistance.
A National Park Service’s (NPS) case study highlighted
Backman Elementary School in Salt Lake City, Utah, “home to a vibrant and
diverse community.”
But many students’ only route to school was walking along
a busy highway with no sidewalk.
The NPS team involved the students in meetings to plan
for a safe pedestrian bridge to connect to local neighborhoods and an outdoor
education and nature area along the river corridor.
For truly reflective community input and planning, all
voices must be heard and included.
