PlaceSpeak

• Verified, Local Input – When you register, PlaceSpeak confirms your location so the City knows we’re hearing from people who live in or are directly affected by a project. This makes the feedback more reliable and fair.
• Open and Ongoing Engagement – You don’t need to attend a meeting to participate. PlaceSpeak makes it easy to stay involved, anytime, anywhere. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be notified about future projects that matter to you.
• Multiple Ways to Participate – Each project uses a mix of tools like surveys, discussion boards, maps, and polls to support meaningful participation and two-way dialogue.
• Supports Informed Decisions – PlaceSpeak helps the City gather well-organized input that can be used to shape public policy, design better programs, and support stronger, evidence-based decisions.
