Tables 37 and 38 showed that the project's "impact on the environment" was the primary concern of the booster sample. As high as 70% (70.4%) of these respondents expressed concern about this issue (Table 37), in which one-third (33.4%) said they were "very concerned" (Table 38). With the percentage of concern just reaching the 60% level (59.5%), "the sustainability of the District" was the second most-concerned item amongst the booster sample (Table 37). Except for the "proportion of residential and property developments", where only 31% (30.9%) expressed concern, the percentages of the remaining attributes were quite close, with "level of concern " ranging between 50% and 56% (Table 37).
