BEAVERTON COMMUNITY VISION SURVEY NOW AVAILABLE
Posted: March 16th, 2010 10:15 AM
The City of Beaverton is asking people to complete a community priorities survey to help shape and inform city planning and investment priorities for the future. The Beaverton Community Vision survey is available now through May 15, 2010. The City of Beaverton will also be mailing a copy of the survey to every household in Beaverton through the city newsletter. The survey is also available on-line at beavertonoregon.gov/visioning.
The Beaverton Community Vision is a citizen-inspired roadmap for the future of our City. Thousands of people have contributed their thoughts on what Beaverton can become, and how we can get there. Under the guidance of a citizen-led advisory committee, community ideas have been organized into five overarching "vision goals" for the future. Teams of community volunteers combed through the thousands of ideas collected and recommended 164 "action ideas" for the city to begin to implement. The purpose of this survey is to help prioritize those 164 ideas to focus the City's planning efforts around the points of community consensus.
SURVEY AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
The survey is available in six languages: English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and Vietnamese. It can be downloaded off the City's web site or taken at locations throughout the community including: Beaverton City Hall (4755 SW Griffith Drive), the Beaverton City Library (12375 SW 5th Street), the Beaverton Community Center (12350 SW 5th Street), the Beaverton Resource Center (12500 SW Allen Blvd), and many more. The survey is also available in a large-print version by request.
Volunteers from the City's Visioning Advisory Committee will be at public events from now through May 15, 2010, to gather your input. For a full list of locations, please visit beavertonoregon.gov/visioning.
