Priorities <br />The third section of the survey asked respondents to show how they would distribute $1,000 on <br />various city amenities while assuming that all basic Louisville services would already be funded. <br />They were told that this "money" would be a way to put additional funding in one or more areas <br />that was personally felt to be important. <br />Mean <br />Open Space $ 174.56 <br />Library $ 114.74 <br />Public Transportation $ 101.65 <br />Trails $ 89.78 <br />Recreation $ 79.84 <br />Parks $ 75.43 <br />Affordable Housing $ 73.64 <br />Additional Police $ 52.04 <br />Curbside Recycling $ 45.21 <br />Community Events $ 41.33 <br />Arts and Humanities $ 39.52 <br />Pedestrian Amenities (sidewalks, etc.) $ 36.12 <br />Public Works $ 35.41 <br />There are two "breaks" in the averages above; where the dollar amount drops by more than <br />$10.00 between items. These "breaks" are identified by the dashed lines above and divide the list <br />into three areas. <br />The first area includes the top three items: Open Space, Library, and Public Transportation. The <br />next "break" includes four items: Trails, Recreation, Parks and Affordable Housing. Four of the <br />top six items on this list deal with open space or some aspect of recreation. <br />In 1994, the top four rankings were Recycling, Trails, Police, and the Louisville Library. <br />Page -24- <br />
