Our first topic for our 2024 round of the Crowdsourced Conversation forum series is “Living Less Car-Centric in the Heights.”  The survey on this topic was conducted electronically from March 1 through March 31, 2024.

Our forum on the topic will be held on Tuesday, April 30 from 7pm-8:30pm at Made Cleveland (1807 Coventry Road).  There will be brief opening remarks offered by Charlie Mossbrook (former member of the City of Cleveland Heights Transportation & Environmental Sustainability Committee) and James Liou (RTA) before we turn the discussion over to you, our event participants for the rest of the evening.  Advanced registration is strongly recommended.

How Crowdsourced Conversations flows:

Step One: The Survey!

• The purpose of our survey is to reach as many Heights stakeholders as possible in order to generate meaningful action-oriented small group discussion questions for our event on the topic.
• This survey was live March 1-March 31, 2024.

Step Two:  The Data!

• Once the survey closes, we will generate a report to share the results.  This report will be housed on the FutureHeights website and will be shared with community partners, elected officials, and more.
• We will also use the survey results to generate small group discussion questions for our Crowdsourced Conversations event on the topic.

Step Three: The Conversation!

• All Heights residents/stakeholders are encouraged to participate in our Crowdsourced Conversations forum.
• While there will be brief opening remarks by guest speakers, this forum series emphasizes the small group discussions that are action-oriented and strengths-based.
• This event will take place during the last week in April 2024

Step Four: The Follow-up! 

• After our forum night, all event participants will have the opportunity to stay connected to the other members of their small group discussion and will receive electronic copies of the survey report and any other resources utilized during the event.
• All event participants will also be able to help us co-create a Resource Page on the forum topic that will live on the FutureHeights website.

This forum series will be an opportunity to connect with other Heights residents about topics that impact us in a variety of overlapping ways. We hope you can join us for all four conversations! Any questions, connect with Sarah – swolf@futureheights.org.
