Public Engagement may include comments on <br />facilities outside of County jurisdiction, such as FDOT-controlled roadways. <br />One Word <br />The in-person One Word Activity requested attendees to answer the following questions in ONE WORD each. <br />In ONE WORD: <br />1. How would you describe Indian River County today? <br />2. How would you describe Indian River County in the future? <br />3. If the County reaches its highest estimated growth population, what is your top concern? <br />4. What does the County need less of? <br />5. What does the County need more of? <br />Today & The Future <br />The top results for how individuals perceive Indian River County in the future were Crowded, Congested, and Busier. <br />When inquiring about the future, the project team anticipated words describing how the community wants to be able to <br />perceive the County in the future, and while some responses were in alignment with that interpretation of the question <br />(e.g., Beautiful, Inclusive, Small-Town Feel, Community-Oriented, Quaint, et cetera), the majority of responses represented <br />community fears for the future, instead of community goals. These fears include a congested, crowded, and busy place. <br />Highest Estimated Growth <br />Traffic was one of the top concerns related to the County reaching its maximum growth, with Transportation being tied for <br />the second-most frequent response. <br />Less Of / More Of <br />The top results for what the community desires less of included Traffic. <br />Ranking <br />The community at in-person workshops ranked Transportation as being the fourth-most important element when <br />determining the County’s highest priority. <br />PAGE 65
