Indicators

Indicators have been developed for each action, where feasible. Effort was taken to identify indicators that already exist or that are already being tracked. In cases where indicators exist, City departments and/or organizations with access to the information are identified. An organizational lead was also assigned for tracking progress for each indicator. For some actions, indicators will be identified as implementation progresses.
