Build an evidence-based proposal for a fictional town’s bus-stop access problem.
Decision mission
Choose a course of action.
In the fictional town of Cedar Crossing, residents report that the path to a town-owned bus stop floods. The town council controls this site’s improvement budget. Help prepare a proposal it can evaluate.
A simplified classroom model. The town, problem, options, and point values are invented for practice. Real jurisdictions have different responsibilities, deadlines, and participation rules. The Raleigh sources are examples of an actual public process.
