Who wants a role now?
Active, advisor, or out. A role someone had in 2024 does not assume they are involved now.
What happens before any design decision
Treat the old drawings as a starting point.
Confirm any City or partner support directly.
Listen before launching a campaign.
The proposed first month
Four steps. One useful decision.
A focused first month keeps the work manageable. At the end, the group can make one practical request, join work already underway, or stop.

Week 4
Choose
Agree on one useful request, one partnership to support, or a reason to stop.
The first conversation
Three questions for the first meeting.
The first meeting is about who is involved and what to study. Street design comes later.
What do we study?
Choose the stretch of South First to study. Different blocks may need different answers.
Do we start the 30-day work?
Start only if one person can coordinate it, other people own tasks, and the group agrees on the question.
One small reply
How would you like to participate?
Choose a word, then reply to the email that brought you here. Nothing else is required yet.
Reply with one word: active, advisor, or out.
Join the work already underway
Map first. Coordinate next.
The City-supported business district already produced a strategy. The City and CapMetro already improved 13 South First bus stops. Other groups have active plans, construction, or neighborhood priorities. The first month should connect these efforts.
