Voters in the City of Lake Worth Beach overwhelmingly approved the proposed Neighborhood Road Program in the November 2016 election. Approximately 67% of the voters supported funding the program through a general obligation bond of $40M. The Neighborhood Road Program is the City’s most significant capital improvement project to date and dramatically improves transportation throughout the City’s residential areas. WGI oversaw this four-year roadway improvement program and continues to assist the City with resident concerns and public inquiries.
WGI services included developing and implementing a public involvement plan, conducting neighborhood design meetings, and designing and maintaining a program website. As a full-service firm, WGI produced a multilingual hotline and served as a resident point of contact and information center for public inquiry. This role demonstrated consistency, cohesiveness, and collaboration among City staff and consultants, resulting in one of the most effective public outreach and engagement processes.
