<br />www.RiverRoad-SantaClaraPlan.org 10 <br /> <br /> <br />Community <br />Participants were asked the following Community question: <br />Community means lots of different things to different people. How will neighborhood <br />organizations decide where to concentrate valuable volunteer energy or other resources? <br />Review the list of issues below, and rank your top three, using 1 as top priority. <br /> <br /> <br />Many respondents provided additional comments or created their own scenario instead of choosing one of the <br />options. Below are key themes of that more open-ended input: <br /> Homelessness—both support and opposition to services for homeless populations <br /> Suggestions of ways to create a community gathering space <br /> Connections between the different options, especially how building a resilient community overlaps with <br />other options. <br /> <br />Results by Neighborhood <br />As the chart shows, respondents from River Road selected building a green community as a higher priority than <br />the overall responses. Otherwise, the participants from River Road ranked their priorities similarly to the overall <br />responses. <br /> <br />Respondents from Santa Clara who live inside the UGB ranked their priorities similarly to the overall responses. <br />Respondents who live outside the UGB ranked their priorities differently and chose delivery of government <br />services as a top priority more frequently. However the sample size of residents who live outside the UGB was <br />much smaller and the range between the highest and lowest priorities was very narrow. <br /> <br />240 233 220 219 <br />179 176 <br />0 <br />50 <br />100 <br />150 <br />200 <br />250 <br />300 <br />Community <br />events and <br />gathering <br />spaces <br />Public safety Services to <br />those in need <br />Build a green <br />community <br />Delivery of <br />government <br />services <br />Build a resilient <br />communityTimes Chosen in Top 3 PrioritiesOverall Responses: Community <br />November 19, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
