Talk to anyone who wants to locate a big business there, before they agree to and get them to ask Kory if they have any safe street provisions.

You might also go to the big church(es) and get a feeling for their values and show them how complete streets would be a benefit to them, their kids and the community. The median age is youngish. There probably are a lot of blue collar workers. I dont know if the video would be the best thing to explain to these folks what better street design could do for them. Think also about pedestrians. Are there any areas that the old folks or kids can't cross the street safely? Any places that have a lot of truck traffic that the residents find annoying? How common are buggies and tractors on the streets of town?

How many 30', 40' and 50' wide streets are in town?
