4 Corridor Stewardship Engaging livability in the I 80 CSMP Dialogue Livability workshop to identify issues and potential stakeholder partners Initially planned to review planning documents for livability principles Livability language quite different than traditional transportation planning language Need to self analyze to judge how well livability is integrated into plans and day to day operations
