RiverLine’s ‘Smart Platform’

The RiverLine Planning team is working on a smart platform that will help guide projects towards helpful information and design guidelines as well as resources gathered during the planning process.

Three smart phases >>>

Step 1: Site Identification + Project Planning

Step 2: Concept + Design Guidelines

Step 3: Permitting & Implementation

We need your help during this feedback phase!

Your help at this stage is crucial. We want to know what you think.

Filling out a simple survey will be the first step for people hoping to implement RiverLine guidelines. The answers will help the smart platform to guide project managers and owners to the appropriate Tennessee RiverLine Design & Standards Guidelines. We have created test surveys to get your feedback on the process.

Please remember that this is a TEST survey. It’s a prototype with the sorts of questions we might eventually ask. The final survey is still in development and is subject to change. That’s why we need your help.

Choose your story

We created three different test surveys, each for a different step of the design process. It’s up to you to pick which ones you would like to explore. Additional questions are included in each survey for your valuable feedback.

On each survey, you will imagine you are someone who is working on a project on the RiverLine (maybe you are!). You will provide feedback about the main questions at the end of each survey.
