SURVEY QUESTION: Which design features are most appropriate for Hillsborough County greenways? To guide the County team in developing greenway design guidance for future greenway projects, Survey #2 included questions to learn about community preferences for greenway design features. Survey takers were asked to rate 32 greenway features inde- pendently using a numerical scale from - 5 to +5 indicating their appropriateness for greenways in Hillsborough County. The greenway features are shown in the images on page 27 and the respective ratings are depicted below. Negative values indicate an averaged negative response and positive values indicate an averaged positive response.
