ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY | Community Survey Responses Community Survey Responses 1,164 Survey Responses The Imagine LaSalle community survey gathered basic information about who uses LaSalle Park, what they like or dislike about it, and what they envision for the park’s future. Throughout July and August 2018, the survey team visited LaSalle Park on 28 different occasions, from average weekday afternoons to large weekend events. The survey team also visited Broderick Park, Canalside, Wilkeson Pointe, and Erie Basin Marina to hear from regional waterfront visitors, and canvassed twice at the Lafayette High School Community Garden to hear from West Side high school students and their families. The survey was available in the seven most commonly spoken languages in the nearby community—English, Spanish, Karen, Burmese, Somali, Nepali, and Arabic. Also available online, the survey was promoted in four local news stories, across Facebook and Instagram, and through email blasts from organizations with ties to the park. In the park, 35 lawn signs placed in high-traffic areas announced the survey to visitors. Additionally, flyers promoting the survey were displayed at local businesses or community centers. These efforts culminated in the collection of 1,164 surveys over a 60-day period. Survey results provide a broad overview of how people experience LaSalle Park and reveal how perspectives on the park can vary depending on how often someone visits, how they get to the park, or where they live.
