The following survey will help to understand what
your thoughts are about the proposed redevelopment. Please select
the answer that you strongly agree or disagree with in the statements
below. Later we will create a graph that will represent the answers
we receive.
Traffic - I think 16,000 additional car trips a day in my neighborhood
between the new residences and shoppers will put too many new
cars on the street, clogging 56th street and access to my home.
|
| |
|
Crime - I’m concerned about an increase in crime in my neighborhood
as criminals will begin to see pedestrians as easy prey. |
| |
|
City Service Cuts - I understand that if the project doesn’t
raise enough taxes that money may be needed from general revenues
to cover the deficit and this could cause budget cuts in basic
city service like police, trash collection and fire. |
| |
|
Tax Increases - I understand that if the project doesn’t raise
enough taxes that ad valorum taxes may have to be raised to pay
for basic city services to avoid cuts in basic services like police,
trash collection and fire |
| |
|
The Environment - I understand that the trees and habitat along
the Hillsborough River will be bulldozed and paved over. I think
the natural beauty of my town will be sacrificed in the name
of ‘progress’
|
| |
|
Economic Discrimination - I don’t like that the rents of the project
will only support upscale stores that I cannot afford to patronize. |
| |
|
Unfair - I’m more than a 10 minute walk. I’m one of the 90%
of Temple Terrace residents that will not be able to get full
benefit. |
| |
|
Property Value - I’m concerned about the large number of residences
in Temple Terrace that will be built in the project will cause
a glut of property, and I won’t be able to sell or even maintain
my home’s value. |
| |
|
Blight - I’m really concerned that if the project fails we’ll
have a worse situation than what we have now. A boarded up distressed
building will harm more than it will help.
|
| |
|
Safety - I’m concerned about the mix of additional car traffic
and pedestrian traffic will lead to increased traffic accidents. |
| |
|
Bad Deal - I’m concerned that with just one developer courting
the city for the project, that we’ll end up getting a bad deal
because there’s no competition. This may mean that we’ll have
to take on more debt and payments and more taxes.
|
| |
|
Special Interests - I’m concerned that there’s a group of special
interests that are directing the project and it won’t be developed
in my best interest. |
