A team of public transportation experts in Detroit is creating a new streetcar stop for the Woodward Avenue Streetcar system that will service a neighborhood in which a stop does not currently exist. To decide where to place the stop, the team is using a survey from ten years ago that asked how far neighborhood residents would be willing to walk to a streetcar stop. The team also looked at studies showing that people’s willingness to walk to public transit is influenced by factors like weather and the presence of paved sidewalks and available crosswalks. A researcher has argued that the survey does not accurately reflect the feelings of today’s residents of this neighborhood.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the researcher’s claim?
The number of sidewalks and crosswalks in the neighborhood that the streetcar stop will service has increased substantially in the last ten years.
A
Residents of Detroit are much less likely to use public transit on rainy days than on clear days.
B
There has been a sharp increase in the last ten years in cyclists who use the roads in the neighborhood that the streetcar stop will service.
C
Current users of the Woodward Avenue Streetcar are satisfied with the number of stops along the line.
