Help me please rewrite this simple sentence
Hello, I am writing an email and have this sentence:
I explained the community interest, and showed a map of the highlighted proposed trails to gauge interest.
Can someone help me rewrite this sentence so it doesn't repeat 'interest'.
It is bothering me because the word 'interest' I feel perfectly matches both sides of what I am trying to say. Just for background, I was gauging interest by employees at an agency. I am trying and thought of other words like feedback, reaction, but I am stumped. I will continue to try. Thank you

I'm not sure I understand the background, but I'll try: Anonymous I explained the community interes t and showed a map of the highlighted highlighting the proposed trails to gauge the staff response. interest.

Yep, you understand the background.
Thank you!
I also came up with: I explained the community interest, and showed a map highlighting the proposed trails to gauge their thoughts.
Which do you think is better? I think yours is, and captures more of what I am trying to staff with 'staff response'.
Thank you so much.

Anonymous I explained the community interest and showed a map highlighting the proposed trails to gauge their thoughts.If it's clear who "their" refers to, then your sentence is OK too. Just remove that comma in the middle of it.
