Isla Vista video walks residents through parking and mobility survey
Summary
A video tutorial produced by Isla Vista staff explains how to use the informational packet and complete the district's parking and mobility survey, including how to rank objectives, select up to five infrastructure locations and enter comments; a $100 gift-card drawing is offered for respondents who leave an email.
Fiona, the video presenter, walked viewers step-by-step through the Isla Vista Parking and Mobility Study online survey, showing how to use the accompanying informational packet, rank objectives and pick infrastructure locations.
The tutorial explains where to find the survey at islavistacsd.ca.gov, which pages of the packet correspond with specific survey sections (pages 1'8 for parking strategies; pages 9'12 for mobility policies and services; page 13 onward for infrastructure locations), and how to select and rank strategies, policies and five infrastructure sites. "This video is not something that you necessarily need to watch before taking the survey. It is just a tool and a resource for you to come back to in case you run into any questions along the way," Fiona says in the introduction.
Fiona emphasized that each survey question aligns with a numbered objective in the packet and that each survey answer corresponds to one of the strategies explained in the packet. For the parking strategies section, respondents are asked to read strategies tied to objectives such as improving compliance with parking policies, enhancing safety and mitigating congestion, then check the strategies they support and optionally provide comments for each question.
For the mobility section, the presenter demonstrated that policy items listed on page 9 of the packet (labeled P1, P2, etc.) match the survey items and asked respondents to pick and rank their top three policies or services. "Identify that scooter users are to use bike lanes, install signs, and enforce" was offered as an example of a paired policy-and-survey item.
In the infrastructure section, Fiona said respondents should select five locations from a list of 27 and then rank proposed initiatives for each chosen location using the packet's maps and photos. She showed Pardall Road as an example location and noted photos and example infrastructure (bike boxes, class 2 and class 3 bike facilities) are provided in the packet to help respondents understand proposals before ranking them.
The tutorial also addressed an interface issue with the survey platform (SurveyMonkey): after selecting a chosen location, the survey may display additional sequential locations; respondents should only rank initiatives for the five locations they previously selected and then advance pages to reach the remaining chosen locations. Fiona repeated that respondents should use their own judgments and not be influenced by her arbitrary example answers.
The video ends by noting a comment box is available for additional feedback on strategies or specific locations and that respondents may leave an email to enter a drawing for a $100 gift card to the co-op. "We really appreciate you taking the time to familiarize yourself with all these materials and giving us thoughtful answers," Fiona says toward the close.
The tutorial functions as an instruction aid rather than a required step: Fiona says viewers may skip ahead to any part of the video and return to it while completing the survey if questions arise. The video repeatedly directs viewers to consult the packet alongside the survey and to provide comments when a strategy or location requires further explanation.
