Council reviews draft 2025 resident survey with new safety and facilities questions, seeks clearer data extraction
Summary
Staff previewed the annual resident survey for January distribution with proposed new questions on speed cameras and community facilities, and the council asked that survey outputs be extractable by street and be available in Spanish online.
City staff presented a draft 2025 resident survey and asked the council for feedback on proposed questions and formatting before a January distribution.
Staff (S6) said the survey will include new questions about public safety tools (for example, whether residents support speed-photo radar cameras on Trade Street) and about priorities for community facilities and funding routes. The presenter also said the survey will be available in other languages online and noted a plan to tag the survey with a language link at the top for Spanish or other translations.
Council members questioned whether collecting respondents' street names is useful and whether the standard report currently extracts street-level summaries. Staff said the data are available but not routinely extracted in the standard survey report and that additional work (an Excel extraction) would be needed if council wants street-level breakdowns.
Staff will finalize wording and distribution logistics and update the council on translations and any formatting corrections; no formal vote was recorded in the excerpt.
