This brief case narrative tell the story of the way in which a few people managed to wring consensus from over 40 of their neighbors on repaving a driveway that is common. While there was general agreement the drive, which ran behind their buildings, was in poor shape, there was little impetus to do something about it, in large part due to the daunting job of organizing a large and disparate group of residents, who had hitherto shown little interest in working together on common goals.
The case describes the hurdles to mobilization in the Maple Lane neighborhood, and the approaches used to steer around them. HKS Case Number 1902.0
