Watch this webinar to learn more about Remix Streets and how it is helping Oxfordshire County Council redesign its streets.
Join us for a deep dive on how Oxfordshire County Council has transformed the way it designs infrastructure plans, works and collaborates with external consultants, and gathers feedback from the public at large when it comes to infrastructure and active travel designs.
Traditionally, engineering drawings are difficult for the public and non-technical experts to understand. Referencing data, testing ideas, and gathering feedback can be onerous and time consuming. When plans need to be modified, it can take weeks of back and forth, video calls and email attachments to communicate and agree upon updates.
To address this challenge, OCC began using an online design and visualisation platform, Remix Streets.
It has enabled streamlined workflows and communications between the council and its external consultants on project designs, and has also given the council a direct line of feedback from the public. With its most recent Woodstock Road design, the authority received more than 100 comments from residents, to consider before moving to the next stage of the project.
Join us for a discussion and demonstration on how Remix Streets has improved the design and feedback process at Oxfordshire County Council.
