Civic Dialogue.
City of Chattanooga

How do you think transportation can better serve Chattanoogans in the future? And how can we improve Chattanooga’s parks and outdoor spaces? Mayor Tim Kelly wants to hear from you directly!

What is this initiative?

Chattanooga’s Civic Dialogue is an initiative led by the city of Chattanooga. Mayor Kelly is looking for community feedback to maximize resources and services for Chattanoogans as part of his goal of providing efficient and effective government. Mayor Kelly wants to identify priorities that are most important to all Chattanoogans, particularly around modernizing our transportation systems and improving our parks and greenways.

This initiative is supported by Change.org, an independent, nonpartisan platform for gathering community input, in partnership with Jigsaw, a tech incubator within Google. Together they will help facilitate the discussion and distill the findings.

This approach also builds on the Mayor’s existing use of Google AI to increase productivity, provide better answers faster and ultimately help restore faith in city government.

How will the conversation work?

The conversation includes four questions about the future of Chattanooga’s parks and transportation. Feel free to share as much as you want in your own words!

Results will be organized, summarized, and made actionable to help Mayor Kelly develop ideas for future planning. The most broadly supported ideas will inform the topics for a facilitated discussion with a group of 100 representative, randomly selected residents.

What will happen with the results?

The results may be shared with the public after the conversation concludes.

All quotes shared in the conversation are anonymous, so rest assured that your personal information will never be linked to your responses.

Thank you for helping to shape the future of parks and transportation in Chattanooga!
