Trustee: only 31 responses to village traffic-safety survey; board discusses adding QR code to water bills
Summary
Trustee Cwley said the community traffic-safety survey had only 31 respondents and urged residents to participate; trustees asked staff to explore placing the survey link or a QR code on water bills to increase response rates.
Trustee Cwley told the board that CAP has been meeting with the park district, schools and library on a traffic-safety study and asked residents to take an online survey; she said "as of yesterday there was only 31 people that had taken the survey in the whole village." She described the survey as capturing concerns not measured only by accident statistics.
Trustees discussed ways to boost participation. A staff member (referred to as Jackie in the transcript) and other trustees suggested adding the survey URL or a QR code to the village water bill as a simple outreach method. The transcript records staff agreeing to explore whether a QR code or a note could be added to water-bill mailings.
Why it matters: Low participation could leave gaps in the traffic-safety study's findings; adding quick-access links on routine mailings is a low-cost way to increase reach.
What the record shows and what is not specified: The transcript records the 31-response figure and the board's direction to investigate adding a QR code or note to the water bill, but it does not specify who will implement the change, an exact deadline, or expected target-response goals.
