<br /> *There were responses from the survey with significantly high numbers of responses regarding items that needed improvements but were
<br /> not included in the next MAP plan. These items for Outdoor Spaces and Buildings were:1)Safe places to walk,such as sidewalks and 2)
<br /> well-lit streets. While these items are important to the community and after careful review by the MAP Outdoor Spaces and Buildings Domain
<br /> planning workgroup,it was determined that the requirements to make such improvements are beyond the scope of work of the MAP Outdoor
<br /> Spaces and Buildings workgroup. *
