We worked with the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization to design and build a web-based public comment tool for land use planning. The tool is highly intuitive and easy to use in order to encourage the public to participate in adding location-based feedback to the map. It allows the public to learn about the planning effort, add notes for various topics, and read comments posted on the map by others.

Planners can review and manage the public’s input from an administrative interface, with the goal of using the public comments to help prepare plans and make decisions.
