DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Houston, Texas seeks a vendor to conduct a comprehensive livable center study and develop an actionable plan supporting the objectives of the Livable Centers program. The study will focus on applying program goals to a designated study area, with the work requiring diverse expertise in research, public engagement, transportation, and urban planning. Collaboration among a team of specialized firms is permitted for this project.
Key tasks include identifying improvements to enhance walkability and bikeability, particularly through upgrades to sidewalks, crossings, bike routes, and first/last mile connections. The plan should foster economic opportunity by supporting transit-oriented development, improving access to jobs, schools, and essential services, and bolstering local business vitality. The vendor will be expected to promote sustained and inclusive public engagement, elevating community input and agency, and coordinate closely with multiple agencies to ensure alignment with both regional and precinct-level goals.
