16.6 The city parks commission has decided to redevelop a community park. Some members of the commission feel that refurbishment of existing park facilities is sufficient to meet the needs of the community; therefore, they advocate minimal redevelopment. Other members feel that such a small-scale project is pointless. They contend that improvement of the park will create greater public satisfaction with the park and thus will draw many more people than currently use it. An increase in patrons could exhaust existing facilities, thus necessitating further redevelopment. To resolve this disagreement, the commission hires a consultant to conduct a survey of community opinion. Among the questions asked are these: Do you regularly use the park? Do you consider park facilities satisfactory or unsatisfactory? From the cross-tabulation of these questions presented in the accompanying table, what should the consultant recommend to the commission?<\/p>\n
Park Facilities Use Park Unsatisfactory Satisfactory<\/p>\n
