APPENDIX 11 ftkM Lint Park ar POI Ms yvu would lekr to ice al a futuft DOWntowl park i Exhibit 5: Graph showing combined City-wide Survey and Neighbor Survay for Open-ended Aman&ss question Participants were given three choices regarding the size and the programming of a park. Over half would prefer a large park with combined programming such as recreation, barbecue, vendor spaces, large lawn areas, trees, and benches. Followed by nearly forty percent (37%) that would prefer smaller parks with lightly programmed areas such as gardens, lawns, and benches. The least preferred would be smaller parks with highly programmed spaces such as play areas, barbecue, and vendor spaces. The proposed general park configurations (or Bubble Diagrams) in this study reflect these preferences. I4J Weald 1a p o a.tier or W.&, p�rh.Ath d$rhret won W paurer VWrimn:p u. one L.

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of those respondents travel to downtown by vehicle. 94 III COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY Twenty-three percent (23%) reported "other' for this question indicating they walk. Of the remaining ten percent (10°1), eight percent (8%) of visitors ride a bicycle and two percent (2%) use public transit. This suggests that most of the participants that do visit downtown drive their cars, while nearly a quarter walk to downtown and nearly a tenth of them ride their bicycles, and very few take advantage of public transit. ve. •J if ", do rou in -k 0-. ,read_ ar bye' Exhibit 7: Clry-wide Survey graph showing how patWpanta typle0y tmver to downtown As expected, the majority of those surveyed do not work Downtown (86%). However, fourteen peroant (14%, or 57 of the 411 survey participants) do work Downtown. Of those who work Downtown, and similarly with the trends for downtown visitors, fifty-five percent (55%) of participants drive to work, ten percent (10%) bike, and two percent (5%) take public transit. The remaining thirty (30%) responded that they use another form of transit to access Downtown, this is likely by foot. When asked where they park, this question did not receive as many responses as other survey questions as it only pertained to those who work Downtown anddrive, which was less than eight percent (8e%) of respondents. Due to the small number of question participants and similar preferences between several locations, it was difficult to establish a clear trend, particularly as the difference of one "vote" could infer an exaggerated and distorted trend. Based on the data available, most of those who drive to work Downtown. park at the Jefferson Garage (13%). County Garage (11%), Library Lots (11%), and the non-specified streets (11%). Three percent (3%) answered that they park at Main StreetlCity Hall Lot. DOWNTOWN PARKS SITE ASSESSMENT 6 FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT fQ CD Cb IV
