The 'Sock Puppet' and Other Lessons Learned in Grand Junction, Colorado

Grand Junction’s approach to public participation in the consideration of roundabouts is founded upon the principles taught by Hans and Annemarie Bleiker in their “Systematic Development of Informed Consent” (SDIC) and uses a variety of tools for getting the message out to affected interests. This paper outlines the development of informed consent and the public participation process as it has been applied to the design and construction of roundabouts, and describes the hits, the misses and the lessons learned on Grand Junction's circuitous journey.
