At the Citizens' Congress, the delegates reviewed and rated 29 goals for Houston's future in absolute and relative terms.
As mentioned earlier, the wording of the goals was determined by over 600 participants at the public meetings and goal writing workshops. While some of the wording may be considered inconsistent or incompatible, the decision was made to leave to citizens' wording of the goals as is, out of respect for the Blueprint Houston process that was dedicated to including the voices of all communities in Houston.
In the morning, the delegates were asked to rate each goal in terms of importance, on a scale of one to five, with one indicating not important and five very important. A mean rating of importance was calculated for each goal. For example, the goal, public transportation, received a 4.6 rating.
In the afternoon, the delegates were asked to rank the ten goals with the highest mean rating in order of priority from one to ten. For a chart of the top ten most urgent goals, please click here.
