Art On Alberta Street Safety Project
Hello Everyone,
Today I had a chance to speak to Seanna Kerrigan and Dr. Kerth Oâ??Brian of PSU regarding the Alberta Street Safety Project, and I wanted to forward to you the gist of our discussions and the status of this project.
In the process of our discussions amongst the AonA Board and with our friends at PSU this project will have 3 distinct stages following a specific timeline.
First Stage.
In the 2^nd Wednesday of May of 2007 AonA Board Of Directors, and all other interested parties in this discussion, will meet with members of PSU, most likely with individuals from Dr. Oâ??Brians Psychology Dept, and possibly from an individual from the PSU Urban Planning Dept. a well to go over the planning of this project, and to hammer out an details that need to be considered. Then in June 2007 PSU will begin the development of the basic format of the Street Safety Questionnaire, in conjunction with AonA Street Safety Committee, with the possibility of even a Pilot Questionnaire sent out to a small group within the community as a test vehicle, but this will be determined as the process develops.
After the finalization of the Alberta Street Safety Questionnaire, and only after it meets with approval of Art On Alberta and the other interested parties, will be the Second Stage.
Second Stage.
Art On Alberta in conjunction with all interested parties and with Brian Monberg of the Post Grads of the PSU Urban Planning Department and, will be the distribution and collection phase. This will be the dissemination of the Alberta Street Safety Questionnaire, then the collection of the Questionnaire data, and then the review of the data, and then any subsequent Questionnaire (if necessary). This phase will require mailers, and feet-on-the-ground to distribute and to collect the questionnaire from the community. Ideas have been suggested that we can leave copies at major points of community interest i.e., Stores, Salons, Churches, etc. Any volunteers that AonA can acquire would be useful in this stage.
Third Stage.
If the community accepts the idea behind this project, then this will be the implantation phase, most likely either late 2007 or early 2008 with the PDX City, Trimet, and PDX Police, etc.
Because of the PSUs class scheduling the bulk of the project will take place over the summer months.
Please contact us if you have questions for comments regarding this issue and thank you everyone for your efforts in this matter.
Sincerely,
Joseph Blanchette
President
