Potential Blocks to Implementation

•Implementation strategies may require coordinated efforts by several municipal departments who may not be in agreement with goals and priorities

•Expectations set during the process may not be met by actual implementation – these expectations may have been unreasonable from the beginning or conditions may have changed over time
