Survey shows strong response; staff previews April micro-mobility town hall
Summary
Staff reported roughly 418 survey starts and 396 complete responses to the city's community satisfaction survey and said the full report will publish by March 30; staff also previewed a micro-mobility town hall on April 28 to discuss e-bikes, scooters and potential enforcement changes after state action.
City staff reported that the city's community satisfaction survey produced substantially higher participation than prior years and said they will publish the full report by March 30.
"We mailed invitations to approximately 5,100 households," Mark McEvoy told the commission, noting 418 households began the survey and 396 households completed every question. McEvoy said the platform (ZenCity) compiles responses and that staff will publish the full compiled report by the end of March.
McEvoy also previewed a micro-mobility town hall tentatively scheduled for April 28 to gather input on e-bikes, scooters and other small electric vehicles. He said state legislation (Senate Bill 6110) is currently on the governor's desk with a decision due April 4; the bill would create a task force to clarify definitions not resolved in the legislation. "The goal is not to start enforcing right now. The goal is to educate, inform, give a grace period so that people can get used to those new rules," McEvoy said, describing the town hall as a public conversation and education opportunity led by the police department and staff.
Commissioners discussed outreach approaches for both the survey results and the town hall, and staff asked the CEC to help plan logistics for the April session and the subsequent public education campaign. No regulatory changes were adopted at the meeting; staff said next steps are community engagement and a later briefing on any proposed enforcement dates or ordinance language.
