Broad, open-ended consultations can be great for getting a large pool of ideas at the conceptual stage of a project (e.g., 'what might transit look like in Hamilton in 2040?') but with a transit strategy in place, reviewed, approved, and funded, narrower consultation ('this block or that?', 'do we need another station or does this provide adequate connection to people and places?', 'what colour should we use?', 'what should we call these stations?') allows the community a voice in the project without undermining the work that is already done.

It's also worth noting that calls for open-ended 'public consultation' are our council's preferred excuse to cancel projects when they get wet feet.
