Over half indicated that <br /> they would be willing to support some kind of financial fee to visit <br /> these greenspace parks(e.g., either an entrance donation box or a <br /> user fee). While the other half did not support charging for access, <br /> the amount that did opens up the question of exploring the topic <br /> ' further. <br /> Further, around 70 percent of survey respondents indicated that <br /> they would be willing to pay additional City taxes to see the quality <br /> of existing parks and recreational amenities upgraded. They would <br /> also be willing to pay more taxes to see new parks and recreational <br /> ' amenities developed or expanded. <br /> r1 <br /> 0 <br /> no <br /> Figure 3.34,In Order to Help Offset Staffing and Maintenance Costs <br /> of the City's Greenspace System,Please Check the Following Items <br /> Co That You Think You Could Support? <br /> i1 <br /> O <br /> an <br /> III <br /> Iltal <br /> Ot1110•Establishing a donation box(using a trailhead kiosk lock box and honor system) <br /> ■l do not support an entrance fee to the City's greenspace system <br /> •Establishing a nominal entrance fee for non-City residents(using a trailhead kiosk lock box and honor system) <br /> ■Establishing a nominal entrance fee for all visitors(using a[railhead kiosk lock box and honor system) <br /> `'II Chapter 3 I System Analysis, Needs, and Recommendations 135 <br /> b <br />
