Forwarding this email to Bikies, because I think it will be of great interest. The survey and study in general is devoting a lot of thought and energy to how to make this area of the city work better for all modes of travel. There are quite a few questions about using intersections and trying to access different areas by foot, bike, transit, and car.
Note that the first meeting of the study committee is this Thursday. Your thoughts and opinions on the survey are important. It's a little long - it took me about 10 minutes (?) (I prefer survey formats that tell you how far along you are, which this one does not.) There are 26 questions, but some are multi-part or "which of these are important to you." Please pass this around in your neighborhoods, work places, or social groups, especially among those that travel to/through the downtown via Wilson or John Nolen (including the path). -- Robbie ** ** ** ** *SCTOD Survey* * * Please take a few minutes to fill out the following survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCTOD.
