The expert evaluation of our images
look and take into consideration the visual quality, imageability,
order and cultural significance of the various pictures. Our primary
scrutiny surrounded those of town houses, apartments, neighborhoods and
playgrounds/parks..
Several factors
have affected the rating pattern. Well kept houses and apartment
complexes, surrounded by areas of similar land use with well kept vegetation
usually faired better than those that lacked these qualities. Sidewalks
and lots of green also boosted the scores. Those houses that had
less maintenance, deteriorating sidewalks, unkempt lawns, dissimilar adjacent
land uses (railroad tracks, large streets, power plants, etc.), littered
ground, faired poorly. In ranking the park areas, those which were
well maintained and had variation of vegetation ranked better. Those
with a high abundance of unwanted herbaceous plants, or with garbage littering
the way, ranked much poorer.
The goal of our
renovation program is to improve the quality of living within Emerson Park.
In the spirit of this, we will repair damaged houses and remove dilapidated
houses from the area. The area opened up from the removal of destroyed
houses will allow us to create a park, thus increasing the recreational
opportunities and the visual aesthetics of the area. The renovated
houses will also add to a more fulfilling experience within the Emerson
Park area. So we would increase the net aesthetic quality in the
area, which would directly benefit those who live in the area and those
who travel through it. These benefits lend credible support for the
utilization of the "Turning a New Leaf" Housing Project.
