Shaping Better Communities with Expert Planning & Engagement.

Our Services

Public & Consensus Building + Planning

Sycamore provides broad-reaching and effective outreach and engagement programs for complex transportation and land use projects, including active living plans, strategic plans, trails and open space, corridor studies, comprehensive transportation plans, comprehensive land use plans, roadways, transit and more. Sycamore utilizes traditional public outreach techniques such as in-person and virtual public forums and workshops as well as grass root, community-led efforts to connect with the public. We work with facilitation, survey development and implementation, focus groups, website development and maintenance, public information campaigns, collateral material development, pop-ups, social media and a host of other public involvement tools to inform and support technical planning work. 

Engagement

When citizens actively participate in the planning and development of a project, they are more likely to offer their support and help build widespread public acceptance. With our community engagement services, Sycamore can help ensure an engaged public as you plan for and develop your project.
