Early in the project scoping process the core team should develop a public involvement plan that is appropriate for each project. The nature and complexity of the project along with the core team’s specialized knowledge of any sensitive issues within the area will determine the best course of action to gain public input into the development of the project’s scope. Proper public input can be an effective tool to help verify that the correct need has been identified and an appropriate solution is being developed for it. The guidance found in [[129.1 Public Involvement#129.1.2.1 Formal Public Hearings|129.1.2.1 Formal Public Hearings]] provides a good background for what constitutes appropriate public involvement and should be consulted when developing a public involvement plan.<br />
<br />
As recommended previously in this section, the minimum level of [[:Category:138 Project Development Chronology|project development]] that should occur prior to completion of scoping occurs at the preliminary plan stage. This is also the level of development that marks the appropriate time to hold the design public hearing. Based on the nature of the project there may have also been previous public hearings or meetings held. This public input, in addition to the less formal input received throughout the scoping process, should all be included in the development of the correct solution to satisfy the need. STIP commitments should not be made until the concerns of the public are adequately addressed by the proposed solution.<br />
