From the results of the first survey, the most popular options for the riverbank at Modzrejewski Playfield included trees, native vegetation and access to the river. Each of the design options incorporate these elements in different ways. Which design do you like best of the following three options? 

• 36% Rustic stepped stone blocks provide informal seating; a switchback pathway provides access to the river (shown above)
• 33% Oval-shaped sweeping paths to the river surrounding a stepped lawn and native vegetation
• 30% Upper plaza adjacent to playfield, lawn terraces and stone seating on the bank, and a sloping accessible path to the river
• 2% Other

A new multi-use path will provide safe off-street bicycle and walking options. Additional walking paths will be provided on the opposite side of the river. In all options the proposed multi-use path will cross several streets and will be next to Harrison Ave for a portion of the greenway. For the multi-use path next to Harrison Ave, which path location do you prefer?

• 69% The multi-use path rises and falls along the riverbank, moving away from Harrison Ave and coming close to the water multiple times. A separate traditional sidewalk stays at street level (shown above)
• 25% The multi-use path is at the same level as Harrison Ave but allows more space between the street and path for trees
• 6% The multi-use path is at the same level as Harrison Ave and has limited space for planting between the street and the path
• 1% Other

Harrison Avenue currently has on-street parking on both sides of the street. The south parking lane where it is next to the river corridor (between S. 9th Street and S. 16th Street), currently has space for approximately 80 on-street parking spaces.  To make room for trees, stormwater treatment, and safer pedestrian crosswalks, would you be in favor of the City removing some on-street parking? 

• 33% Yes, removing up to 50% of the on-street parking spaces on the south side is acceptable
• 27% Yes, removing all the on-street parking on the south side of the street is acceptable
• 25% No, do not remove any on-street parking on Harrison Avenue
• 13% Yes, removing up to 25% of the on-street parking spaces on the south side is acceptable
• 2% I’m not sure
