In 2007 Doyle was appointed to the Trenton Planning Board, where he helps shape the local community by amending land-use ordinances, advising applicants and requesting revisions on proposals to benefit the greater community. Doyle has participated in several recent panel discussions as an expert on school design, renovations, and adaptive reuse. At the 2010 New Jersey Future Redevelopment Forum, he discussed neighborhood schools and efficiencies in school design, particularly in the greater urban context of a site. At the 2010 NJ Historic Preservation conference, Doyle spoke about pending legislation that will become beneficial for protecting historic schools.
