<br />'- '* -- ... <br /> <br />e <br />- <br /> <br />The following conclusions can be drawn from this study: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Residents most prize the small town "atpbience" of the community and regard <br />recent residential growth as a major threat to it. Controlling its growth in the <br />future will be key for City decision-makers. However, residents were also <br />generally positive about City actions to attract industry and jobs to the community. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Since most residents work outside of the community, streets and highways are a <br />top priority. A new crossing for the Mississippi River rates at the top oflist for <br />infrastructure changes. Next is the improvement of Highway 47 as a main traffic <br />corridor. A third policy area would be the assurance of a good traffic flow within <br />the city during the day, but especially at rush hours. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Residents would support a moderate tax increase for park and recreation system <br />improvements. Not a surprising result in light of two findings: a relatively benign <br />tax climate and a below average rating of current park and recreation facilities. <br />Top priorities for development include the preservation of open spaces, a trail <br />corridor along the Mississippi River, and off-road trails along busy traffic <br />corridors. <br /> <br />42 <br />
