Encourage KCMO to utilize all available communication avenues for outreach.
From "Kansas City Disparity Study — Findings and Next Steps"
Go to the project
KCMO, please utilize the outreach recommendations provided by your community. These are suggestions repeatedly offered by Hickman Mills United Neighborhoods for the City to gain a better following and more input on City related events without creating too much paper trash.
Communication Avenues:
Digital signs at City Offices posting information
Billboards throughout the City
QR codes digitally placed in City ads
Church bulletins
District newsletters
Center for Neighborhoods newsletter
Direct Email notifications
Links/QR codes on posters at City events, elevators, public parking garages and local transportation hubs
All local News Stations
311 website/Nixle
KC Star (online and tangible versions)
The Pitch
The Zoo
The Martin City Telegraph
Coffee News
MCPL library bulletins
KCPL library locations
Community Center bulletins
Sports arena/Concert announcements
Direct Text links (to those who sign up) to KCMO surveys
Announcements made at local schools/colleges/vocational learning centers asking notifying residents about City surveys/studies/speakeasy/meetings,etc.
We hope KCMO will better utilize the various avenues of communication available to gain a better following of City sponsored meetings/hearings/input forums and to help ensure that residents across the City are aware of these events and the need for information and/or feedback.
Pertaining to the study, disparity in getting out the information needed to collect the measureable information is a challenge when so few residents participate.
