I'd rather allocate that $10k to some kind of feasibility study, to see what really should be prioritized when a much bigger budget is made available, since I don't really trust myself to know what an entire town really needs urgently
But if I had to be selfish, maybe we could fund an OpenStreetMap mapathon to help improve the online map of the town
Could not only improve ease of navigation of the town, but also get a clearer idea of how the space is used, which may give better insight on what might be worth redesigning in a larger project
I don't know how to say this but OpenStreetMapathons are actually completely free to host
but the salary of one guy running the feasibility study alone is $15k. guess he will take your $10k and wait for you to pay for the rest of study instruments, PC laps, travel and accomodation reservations, hall rents, their time-off pay, and payments for the rest of $15k-salary team, then they will conduct a study that conclude things that everyone has known for decades but their decisions are beyond your and their control, and that water has been wet all along.
