<br /> <br />Results <br />Survey (Online, combined with Pop -Up) <br />The online survey was published to collect comments from the community about the future of the lot. <br />This five-question survey asked respondents what type of community events they would like to see take <br />place in the space, what features they would like to see in this parking lot, what could make the lot more <br />functional and if there was anything else we should know about the parking lot. If respondents wanted to <br />stay updated with the project as it progresses, they could enter their email at the end of the survey. As of <br />September 2nd, 2021, this survey had received 104 responses. The results are summarized below. <br />Question 1. “The comprehensive plan identified the municipal parking lot as a future space for <br />community events. What type of events do you feel would be most important here?” <br />Support for a future farmer’s market at the site was highest, with 76% of the respondents supporting one <br />at the lot. Community festivals and art fairs were next, each receiving support from about half of the <br />respondents. Car shows received support from about 20% of respond ents. There were an additional 18 <br />write-in responses with answers, including the addition of a pickleball court and a request that nothing be <br />done to the lot. Figure 1 shows the survey results for question 1. The complete answers can be found in <br />Appendix A. <br /> <br />Figure 1. Responses to “The comprehensive plan identified the municipal parking lot as a future space for community events. <br />What type of events do you feel would be most important here?” <br />Question 2. What type of features would you like to see in this parking lot? Select all that apply. <br />A list of 12 features that could be added to the parking lot were provided to respondents. Flexible space <br />was the most common feature requested, with 73% of respondents requesting it. Lighting was next at <br />67%, followed by natural plantings and trash bins and dumpster enclosures. This question was also asked <br />at the pop-up event. The most popular features at the event, like with the online survey, were lighting and <br />flexible space. Figure 2 shows the survey results for question 2 and Figure 3 shows the results to the same <br />question from the pop-up in the parking lot. <br /> <br />77 <br />52 <br />18 <br />47 <br />18 <br />0 <br />10 <br />20 <br />30 <br />40 <br />50 <br />60 <br />70 <br />80 <br />90 <br />Farmers Market Community <br />Festivals/Block <br />Parties <br />Car Shows Art Fairs Other <br /># of Responses
