support among affected businesses and residents was highest for Options 4A and 4C (Martin/Winnipeg Streets and Martin Street, respectively), but among the general public support was highest for Option 4B (Winnipeg Street). Given the low participation rate it was decided that more focussed discussion would be held within Section 4 to help select the ultimate preferred option. Table 1 summarizes responses to the survey that accompanied the open houses in December, and which was also available online. The first group of responses includes only affected residents and businesses located on one of the identified route options, and only includes their responses for the sections where they live or their business is located. The second group of responses include all respondents (affected and otherwise), and all responses for all sections. Table 1: Preferred routes from survey responses
