The interim activation planning process has included collaboration with local community organizations , event planners and small businesses .
Throughout 2019 and amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 , more than a dozen specific equitable development planning meetings were held in an array of formats , including lectures , discussions , panels and field trips .
