jw PF <br />Appendix E <br />Transportation Goals and Objectives survey <br />The information is formatted so that items considered to be <br />most important are at the top of the list. See Table D -1. <br />The column headed by "AVE." (for average response) indicates <br />the average relative importance you collectively have to each <br />item. The column headed with "DEV." (for standard deviation) <br />indicates how differently you felt about certain issues. <br />All the items ranked at the top of the goals list support the <br />motion that a well- designed, adequate thoroughfare system which <br />routes traffic around the town center, rather than through it, <br />while protecting the integrity of neighborhoods and historically <br />significant areas would be consistent with your collective goals. <br />Bicycles, buses, and taxicabs did not garner a great deal of <br />enthusiasm, though all could play a role in reducing automobile <br />traffic. <br />Better planning and concentration improving the aesthetic <br />qualities of the area seem to be the most popular objectives. <br />City control over the subdivision of land appear to be the most <br />controversial subject, judging from the widely varying responses <br />it received. One -way streets, on- street parking along major roads <br />and strip commercial development were considered undesirable. <br />In comparing the results of this survey to those of other <br />areas, there is a great deal of similarity in the answers. Close <br />proximity to burgeoning urban areas probably explains the lack of <br />concern about matters involving the vitality of Hillsborough's <br />employment base. Protecting the many positive attributes which <br />the area already has appears to be the overriding concern. <br />83 <br />
