Summary of Feedback from Public Review
Overview
The Draft Game Plan 2028 was released on Oct. 30, 2023, and public feedback was gathered through Dec. 2023.
Feedback was gathered online through an Open City Hall online survey and through exercises conducted during four public workshops. 140 individuals were presented the Draft Game Plan 2028 through informal meetings (i.e., presentations at meetings not organized by the City) and public meetings (i.e., organized by the City at city-owned facilities). 51 individuals completed the online survey. The four workshops were targeted to three demographics: youth, businesses and the general public. One youth workshop was hosted in-person, one business workshop was hybrid (online and in-person), one general public workshop was in-person and one general public workshop was online. All feedback was reviewed, and changes were made to Draft Game Plan 2028 to reflect community sentiment while maintain greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
Feedback on Moves
Online survey participants ranked their enthusiasm for each Move on an Excited, Neutral or Concerned scale from one to five in Draft Game Plan 2028. Survey respondents rated Moves they were excited about a four or five, Moves they were Neutral about a three and Moves they were concerned about a one or two. Public workshop participants ranked their enthusiasm for each Move through a Red light, Green light exercise. Workshop participants were asked to place five green dots on Moves that they were most enthusiastic about and place five red dots on Moves they were concerned about. The below percentages were calculated by taking the total number of enthusiastic or concerned responses, divided by the total number of responses (concerned + enthusiastic + neutral). Participants also expressed other ideas and concerns via written comments.
