Three-Phased Outreach Approach <br />Stakeholder and community engagement are essential components in the <br />development of a CSAP, ensuring that community members have meaningful <br />opportunities to identify safety challenges, shape outcomes, and contribute to <br />final recommendations. For this CSAP, the project team followed a three-phase <br />outreach process: <br />Stakeholder <br />Planning Group <br />The Stakeholder Planning Group is made up <br />of members from a broad cross-section of <br />Snoqualmie Pass interests, including WSDOT, <br />King County, the Snoqualmie Pass Public <br />Utility District, Kittitas Fire District 13, resort <br />operators, homeowner associations, business <br />owners, and other relevant entities such as <br />the U.S. Forest Service, Washington State <br />Parks, and more. The group convened every <br />other month throughout the planning process <br />to provide guidance and input on key topics, <br />including: <br /> ƒExisting safety and capacity challenges <br /> ƒIdentification of data gaps and <br />collection methodologies <br /> ƒUser types and travel patterns within <br />the transportation system <br /> ƒAnticipated future issues based on capacity <br />modeling and systemic safety analysis <br /> ƒCommunity priorities related to <br />transportation safety and mobility <br /> ƒOutreach strategies and <br />engagement methods <br /> ƒIdentification and confirmation <br />of priority locations for capacity <br />and safety improvements <br /> ƒReview of draft plan materials <br />Meeting agendas and topics discussed at each <br />session are included in Appendix B. <br />Phase 1 <br />Listening and <br />Learning <br />The unique set of conditions at <br />Snoqualmie Pass shape specific <br />needs, which vary significantly <br />by time of year and day of the <br />week. The project team sought <br />to understand how experiences <br />and needs vary for different user <br />groups. Recognizing that collision <br />data reflects problems after the <br />fact, the team prioritized listening <br />to community members to gather <br />insights on near-miss locations, <br />perceived safety concerns, and <br />ideas for improvement to address <br />safety challenges as well as <br />expected growth in the Pass. <br />Phase 2 <br />Integrating <br />Community Input <br />After analyzing safety and broader <br />mobility conditions in Snoqualmie <br />Pass through the lens of both <br />quantitative and qualitative <br />data, the team returned to the <br />community to share findings and <br />confirm that feedback had been <br />accurately captured. <br />Phase 3 <br />Project <br />Prioritization <br />The team then presented initial <br />project ideas and prioritization <br />strategies, shaped by community- <br />identified priorities, to <br />gather input before finalizing <br />recommendations. <br />Engagement activities included an online survey, an <br />interactive map, an in-person community meeting, and <br />ongoing collaboration with the Stakeholder Planning <br />Group. <br />C o n ditions <br />Ve <br />hi <br />cle <br />TimeWeather <br />Day <br />C <br />i <br />r <br />c <br />u <br />m <br />stance <br />Relationship <br />Road <br />A <br />c <br />ti <br />on <br />of DayConditions <br />of Week <br />C <br />o <br />n <br />t <br />rib <br />uting <br />Junctio n <br />Draft Project Ideas <br />22Kittitas County | Snoqualmie Pass Comprehensive Safety Plan
