Analysis/Summary — Raw Data
Raw data by location: All District — Lakeshore — Grand Avenue — Lake Park - In 2008 and 2009, Lakeshore was closed to through traffic for a street festival called “Lakefest”. Would you approve of its resumption as an annual event?
Visual (JPG) - Assuming you approve of the event, would you prefer that it be: Saturday only. Sunday only. Both days. No opinion.
Visual with Disclaimer (JPG) - There’s a monthly First Thursdays art walk on Grand Avenue that currently begins at 6 PM. When would you be most likely to participate in a monthly art walk given the following options?
Visual (JPG) - Several businesses on Lakeshore and on Grand have been thinking about installing parklets. If you’re willing to support such efforts by assisting in their design, construction or financing, please provide your name and email address below (if you don’t hear from us by mid-September).
Summary & Request for volunteers — Visual (JPG) - As shown in this link, plans for the Kwik Way Development project would eliminate the driveway to the right of the existing building and replace it with a single driveway at the B of A side of the property. This would make the left turn pocket on eastbound Lake Park totally extraneous. Would you approve of installing barriers on both sides of this section of crosswalk to narrow its width and create a safe haven for pedestrians?
Analysis/Summary — Visual (JPG) - If the post office agreed to install a mailbox on Lake Park in the location shown in this link, it would allow you to safely pull up to the box and drop off your mail. Given this choice, which option would you most likely use?

If you’re possibly interested, please provide your name and email address.
