Despite the amount of work the QR code entailed, there was very little response. Not surprising, social media worked great to get the word out, garnering 71% of the feedback. Emailing neighborhood associations worked well, and the Lyndale Neighborhood Association (LNA) made an explicit effort to bring it to their community's attention.
