There could be picnics with snacks and art supplies. Comment boxes on site. Walking discussions and visioning exercises. There could be so many things. But it takes time and energy to try them out.
If we did though, our public spaces could reflect the creativity and diversity of our communities.

What if, instead of *allowing* for comments, our public institutions *facilitated* the public's input? Not through passive letters that are mostly ignored and thrown out, but through active and creative interventions?

Some people may open the municipality's letter. Of those who do, a handful may already feel strongly enough about the park to take the time and write something in.
But many many more people interact with this park, and, even if only for a few passing moments, have ideas about what it could be.
