LSI survey results
Between August 2008 and October 2009, nearly 300 people took the living streets survey. Because this is not a random sample, these statistics are not representative of the Denver population as a whole, more of a sample of Denver residents who are interested in living streets. The survey results have a confidence interval of +/-6% with a 95% confidence level.
