EcoStreets

Brainstorming EcoStreets

Hello all,

EcoStreets is heading in a new direction and forging new partnerships. We want you to be part of the process!

To refresh your memory: EcoStreets is a collaborative journalism project aimed at addressing the issues around alternative transportation and mobility in the UNLV neighborhood.

I am applying for grants to put EcoStreets into high gear. But, I need your help in figuring out how EcoStreets will re-manifest itself.

Please send us your ideas to ecostreets AT gmail DOT com or in the comments.

Some questions you might want to ask yourself:
- What’s a mode of alternative transit you take or would like to take that needs improvement? Why? How?
- What information do you need to make alternative transportation a viable option? (a better map of bike paths, time delays of buses, for example)
- What kind of data would you like from the community? (if you are a member of an organization)
- What processes would you like to be involved in as a community member/ what processes would you want to involve the community in? (design phase, testing phase, etc)
- What technology do you use often that you’d like integrated with alternative transit in some way (cell phone, PDA, ipod, email, facebook, etc – see NextBus Article for an example)?

Remember: this a collaborative project. Please keep an eye towards community involvement with your ideas.
