Multi-lingual postings, e-mail blasts, <br /> social media, and pop-up events were included within the strategy and different <br /> methods of engagement were employed to understand what works best for different <br /> community groups. <br /> Plan Your Parks- Voting <br /> The County placed static picture boards on easels at PARK USES <br /> different locations throughout the county, i.e. Driver's <br /> License Center, Library, etc., to share the proposed <br /> projects and allow the public to share their preferred <br /> park amenities, preferred trail surfacing, ways of <br /> accessing the parks and park safety. Refer to Figure 12. <br /> This method was considered successful in the amount of <br /> responses received, but unsuccessful in that this method <br /> could not track actual number of respondents or if <br /> underserved populations were participating. <br /> FIGURE 12 <br /> 3/6/2017 Mississippi West Regional Park Master Plan Amendment 12 <br />
