Welcome to the Post Falls
Visual Preference Survey


When working to address issues of growth and development, Visual Preference Surveys (VPS) begin the process of citizen input. Because of their participatory nature and because they track opinions across an entire community, the VPS makes planning more democratic and market responsive. In fact, opinions provided here will factor directly into the developing recommendations.

The survey, which will remain live and available on this site for two weeks after the charrette concludes, is divided into five areas. Groupings of images are specifically formulated to probe for future development options in these areas:
  • Streets
  • Pedestrian Areas
  • Parks and Open Spaces
  • Retail
  • Residential
 
Your job is evaluating the images based on how appropriate they are to their place on a rural to urban continuum (often called “the Transect”). The categories are:
  • T1 – Natural Zone or Wilderness
  • T2 – Rural Zone or Farmland
  • T3 – Sub-Urban Zone
  • T4 – General Neighborhood Zone
  • T5 – Town Center or Main Street Zone
  • T6 – Downtown Core
 
Please rate the images for how much you would like to see similar examples in Post Falls, both today and in the future. A +10 is a must see; a -10 is a must avoid.
 
The images are intended to illustrate conceptual ideas and do not represent any proposal for a specific location.
