Polling Topics
We will be asking all community members to tell us how important each of these factors are and then which of the three current design options best addresses each factor:
- 1. The A.1 design achieves the balance of the various design priorities in the most
effective way.
- 2. The A.1 design incorporates the community concerns effectively.
- 3. If a concern was not incorporated, it has been communicated clearly as to why.
- 4. The design process has evaluated all potential site layout options.
- 5. The overall community engagement process during this phase of the design
process has been effective. SCALE: 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree
