Greetings,
Yesterday evening Gord Byers, Jim Dimmick, John Fair and myself attended a special "groups" meeting for the Parksville OCP Review. Groups invited included: Restaurants,
Outdoor Rec and Cycling, Horses, Health and Wellness, Dogs, Fine and Performing Arts plus a group representing Beach activities. In our groups we were asked to identify things like what activities and facilities in our area of interest we would like to see in the Parksville area. Each group was able to share their discussion items with the whole group. It was very interesting to hear that the need for cycling and multi-use trails was mentioned by pretty well every group. All of the contributions from the meeting will be posted on the OCP Review section of the City of Parksville website.
Thinking of what happened at the meeting, it would probably be very timely to post a survey on our website that would ask for responses on cycling-related questions. The survey results could be used for presentations to groups like local City and Town Councils, the Chambers of Commerce and the School Board. I have looked at a few of the "free" online survey websites and most of them place a limit of 10 questions and a cap of 100 respondents.
If you can think of some good questions about cycling in the area, please send them to me. I will try my best to included them in the survey.
