More Than 450 Attend 'Clicker' Sessions; Community Survey Results Released

ASPEN, COLO. (February 2, 2008) -- More than 450 people participated in large group meetings on January 27 and 31, using instant voting "clickers" to register their position on more than 70 questions covering 10 topics. The results are available at www.aspencommunityvision.com.

The questions were derived from a series of small group meetings held in October and November, attended by 174 adults and almost 40 high school students from Karen Greene's civic class. The small group meetings were not intended to produce a consensus, but to express a range of goals and visions to be evaluated at the large group meetings.
On February 3, consultant Linda Venturoni will release the results of a randomly-mailed survey at a work session with the City Council and County Commissioners at 4:30 pm in Council Chambers at City Hall. The results will later be posted on www.aspencommunityvision.com.
On February 19, a draft Community Vision for the Aspen Area will be released, and available on this website. A Brown Bag lunch for public feedback is scheduled from 11:30 am to 1 pm on Thursday, February 26 in the Sister Cities Room at City Hall; and from 11:30 am to 1 pm on Friday, February 27 in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

The Council, Commissioners and both city and county planning commissions will review the draft in March for adoption in April. A schedule of these public meetings will be released soon.

The finished product will be a 10-year vision document for the City Council and County Board of Commissioners -- providing guidance for future decisions on issues ranging from Housing to Managing Growth to Transportation.
