Relationships As a transportation agency, the dialogue has increased around pedestrian safety and motorists, and there's an increase in trust. I see a win being the relationships with community members. People are asking questions not necessarily about SR2S but also about safety. SR2S builds familiarity with the work we do and people involved in SR2S feel comfortable coming out and discussing other projects.
