Phase 2: Integrating Community Input After analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data, the project team returned to the community to share preliminary results and confirm that public input had been accurately reflected. This was done through a two-part public meeting featuring an open house and a formal presentation. The open house included a series of informational and interactive boards. Informational boards explained the purpose of the CSAP, summarized key safety and traffic findings, and highlighted community input from the online survey and interactive map. Interactive activity boards invited participants to provide feedback on potential action items and location-specific safety countermeasures across the Snoqualmie Pass study area. Attendees could write comments directly on the boards, allowing for real-time input (Figure 6). Following the open house, a presentation was delivered outlining the CSAP process, completed analyses, examples of proven safety strategies, and next steps. For a detailed overview of the community meeting and the feedback received from participants, see Appendix D. What We Heard Each phase of engagement offered opportunities for community members and stakeholders to share their firsthand experiences and transportation concerns. These insights helped identify challenges that may not be captured through data alone, such as near-misses, seasonal safety issues, and barriers to safely walking, biking, or driving in Snoqualmie Pass. The online survey, interactive map, and public meeting provided complementary ways community members could express concerns, react to findings, and weigh in on potential strategies. Several themes consistently emerged across all engagement activities, highlighting the community’s top transportation safety and capacity concerns, as shown on the next page. Figure 6.
