Category Transportation-related, % (95% CI) Land use–related, % (95% CI)
New sidewalks or stop signs New bicycle lanes or paths Expanded public transportation New businesses with condos above Improved parks and recreation facilities
Total 5.8 (5.0–6.8) 4.7 (4.0–5.5) 8.0 (7.1–9.0) 21.7 (20.2–23.3) 8.2 (7.2–9.3)
Agree with concerns for higher cost of living 7.1 (5.2–9.5) 6.6 (4.9–8.8) 11.7 (9.1–14.8) 31.8 (27.9–36.0) 9.5 (7.2–12.4)
Do not agree with concerns for higher cost of living 5.5 (4.6–6.6) 4.3 (3.5–5.1) 7.1 (6.2–8.2) 19.3 (17.7–21.0) 7.9 (6.9–9.1)
Supporters of change 5.8 (4.7–7.1) 4.6 (3.7–5.7) 8.0 (6.7–9.6) 24.0 (21.8–26.3) 9.7 (8.2–11.4)
Nonsupporters of change 7.5 (5.2–10.6) 7.5 (5.5–10.1) 9.4 (7.1–12.5) 19.5 (16.2–23.3) 7.8 (5.6–10.8)

For new bicycle lanes or paths, there is a significant difference between agree with concerns about higher cost of living and do not agree with concerns about higher cost of living and between nonsupporters of change and neither support nor don’t support change. For expanded public transportation, there is a significant difference between agree with concerns about higher cost of living and do not agree with concerns about higher cost of living. For new businesses with condos above, there are significant differences between agree with concerns about higher cost of living and do not agree with concerns about higher cost of living and between supporters of change and nonsupporters of change. For improved parks and recreation facilities, there is a significant difference between nonsupporters of change and neither support nor don’t support change.
