For the North Boulder Subcommunity Plan Update, Growing Up Boulder used a variety of methods to ask young people and their parents, “What do you like or not like about North Broadway?  What are the key opportunities for that area?”

While the information collected is not part of a scientific study, we believe the views shared here still represent meaningful input into the Update, and they include an important subset of the community that is often not represented at public meetings or in more traditional forms of outreach.

 Community Engagement methods employed include:
  • Drawing sessions with elementary and middle school children at the public meeting on October 30, 2013 (n=3 elementary school children, n=1 middle school student)
  • Questions for parents of young children via Boulder Rock’n Moms Yahoo Group post on November 7, 2013 (n=24)
  • Questions for high school student acquaintances via email on November 7, 2013 (n=4)
  • “City-on-a-wall” activity and individual drawings with Foothill Elementary School 1st grade class on May 5, 2014 (n=24)

Answers varied significantly by age group.  Below is a summary of the most frequently requested design elements, in descending order of importance.
