Typed survey responses now available

We have now made available the typed survey responses to the open-ended questions and answers typed when a respondents selected "Other" for multiple choice questions. Survey responses are not attributed to individuals and remain anonymous (even to the survey makers).

The link is the same: summary of results.

Take a look at some of the very creative responses! We will also be doing some tallying of answers for more at-a-glance review of responses with common themes.

Summary of Survey Results Now Available!

The 2010 Wedgwood Community Survey has closed and you may now view a summary of results.

At this point, results are available only for the multiple choice questions/responses. Typed comments and responses to open-ended questions are not currently available.

Excellent meeting! 60 attend on Saturday a.m.

It was an experiment -- could the Vision Project draw in folks who hadn't yet participated by holding the meeting on a Saturday morning instead of a weekday evening?

Yes! More than half of the 60 or so attendees on Saturday raised their hands to indicate that they had not been to the first meeting in February.

Fortified by coffee and Grateful Bread bagels, participants got an orientation to where we are in the process and a preview of survey results. (Quick summary: this was the 2nd of 3 community meetings; the last will be in July at which the vision will be presented. The survey has over 700 respondents and will be open through April 17.)

Then, we broke into nine small groups and reviewed "alternative futures" in various categories (commercial development, transportation, residential areas), snipping out and editing statements and photos that resonated with the groups' thinking. Each group pasted items on a big sheet to create a "storyboard" of their draft vision to share with the entire group of participants, along with a brief vision statement.

Participants were constructive, creative, and enthusiastic and the groups clearly shared many common elements in their visions and storyboards.

Working together with the Vision Project steering committee, Makers architecture+urban planning will now pull together a cohesive document reflecting the input from the meetings and the survey, to be shared in July with the community at large.

We will post interim results of the meetings on this blog soon.

Thank you for your participation!

Wedgwood Community Survey is Now Online

The Wedgwood Vision Project has just launched an online survey about our community that will help identify collective priorities going forward. It's another step in collecting broad community input for an eventual Wedgwood Vision Plan.

Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey! And be sure to join us the morning of April 10 for our second community meeting.
