Here's a "success story." Cities spend lots of time gathering feedback from citizens on transportation changes, but the feedback process can often exclude people who don't have time to physically go to town hall-type meetings. Or for those who do go, the options presented might not be easy to understand. And it's even harder for attendees to pitch their own variation. Streetmix made all of this easier, and it seems like it worked well in Bogotá.
