- Continue to support neighborhood associations and volunteer initiatives and to host community forums and workshops
- Develop a workplan to make more documents available online and to improve the website’s ease of use
- Advance public engagement with implementation of the City’s e311 system, online town hall forums, online service requests, survey tools and social media platforms
