About the Survey:
Citizens for a Neighbor-First Traverse City administered the same survey to 152 committed community members this summer to evaluate community priorities and perspectives on how our city works and where we’re going. We asked questions about the following topics:
- Sustainability
- Equity
- Who Traverse City is designed for
- Walking, biking, transportation, and health in our city
- The role of elected officials
