A Community Street Review is a new survey method where a Community Street Audit is combined with a numerical rating system. The methodology is the result of research commissioned by Land Transport New Zealand for improving Walkability in New Zealand. The methodology involves taking a group of community members to a location and have them review their perceptions of the walking environment. The participant resonses are entered into a database and a level of service is assigned to the area. Physical and operational variables are also collected at the time of the review and paired with the responses and level of service calculations. Once enough reviews have been completed, it is expected that walkability level of service will be derived straight from the measurement of physical and operational variables.
Famous quotes containing the words community, street and/or review:
“The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)
“Anger becomes limiting, restricting. You can’t see through it. While anger is there, look at that, too. But after a while, you have to look at something else.”
—Thylias Moss, African American poet. As quoted in the Wall Street Journal (May 12, 1994)
“The thanksgiving of the old Jew, “Lord, I thank Thee that Thou didst not make me a woman,” doubtless came from a careful review of the situation. Like all of us, he had fortitude enough to bear his neighbors’ afflictions.”
—Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
