Online & Intercept Survey

To reach a broader audience and equally engage those residents who, for personal, physical, or financial reasons, cannot attend in-person meetings or workshops, each input activity was developed into an online equivalent. It was also used as an intercept survey at events. This outreach has brought in large amounts of feedback throughout the plan process and will be a continuing strategy in each new phase of engagement. The online equivalent received over 360 responses. Another 230 surveys were collected through intercepts and over 5,000 questions were answered through both techniques.

The online workshop was designed to receive parallel input to that given during the in-person community workshops, including the discussion around plan vision. It also provided some of the background information that was presented at the community workshops. The survey asked participants to pick their top three priorities among the values identified in previous engagement efforts. The most identified topics were affordability and housing choice, healthy environment and tree canopy, transportation choice, and walkable neighborhoods. They also had the opportunity to write in values that were missing from the list. Over 100 write-ins were submitted and recorded in the process of compiling the values, Vision Elements and Goals
