10. This is a budget-priority exercise. If the City had additional funds, where should that money go first? Each option has a sample cost of $50 (not actual City costs), and you have $200 total to allocate. You won't be able to fund every option, so prioritize what's most important to you.

How it works: Use the sliders to allocate funds to your preferred options. Each option has a set cost, and you can distribute funds until the total budget is reached.
