Scope of Services

The City of Madison has teamed with Kimley Horn and Associates Inc. during the planning process for Judge Doyle Square. Kimley Horn's Scope of Services will provide the city with leadership and assistance in project managment, public involvement, traffic impact analysis, environmental scoping and master planning.

Goals, Objectives, and Expected Outcomes

Good public involvement includes outreach, information gathering, communicating, educating, testing, and building consensus. A good public involvement process is well thought-out, tailored to the community and the project, and executed. Public involvement is a central element of the master planning process for Block 105. The Kimley-Horn Team has developed a public involvement strategy that is comprehensive, open, and engaging. The process will provide opportunities for stakeholders to provide input, learn about the project as it progresses, evaluate alternatives, and be part of the decision making. The following flow chart describes the public involvement process:

The overall goals and objectives of the public involvement process are to:

1. Facilitate active, open, and collaborative participation by stakeholders

• Give voice to Downtown and community stakeholders.
• Utilize advisory meetings to keep key stakeholders and elected officials informed and engaged.
• Keep the lines of communication open.

2. Ensure that stakeholders are comfortable with the proposed project and confident in the process of decision-making.

• Build trust between the stakeholders and the Project Management and Kimley-Horn teams.
• Keep stakeholders engaged throughout the process.
• Let stakeholders know their participation is important.

3. Collect community input and feedback to improve the project

• Give the community adequate information and educate them about the process in order that they may provide meaningful comments.
  
• Keep the lines of communication open.
  
• Be respectful of the community's ideas and input.
  
• Consider community input when formulating recommendations and making decisions.

The desired outcome for the public involvement process is to develop a final master plan for Block 105 that is right for Downtown Madison, feasible, and most importantly, supported by the community. In addition, the public involvement process for Phase One should lay the groundwork for Phases Two and Three of the master planning process.
