Streetcar Survey Pushback

Note: In the spring of 2009 the city of Boise conducted a telephone survey collecting 511 completed responses. Click here for Boise's telephone survey report. This survey measured 25 issues facing Boise and, based on the respondent feedback, identified the top four (see p. 31 of the city of Boise report):
- Jobs / Economic Opportunities (68%)
- Planning for Growth (55%)
- Adequacy of Public Transportation (49%)
- Air Pollution (49%)
The POPULUS Citizen Satisfaction survey measured 32 items using a different methodology. Twenty of the items measured were also measured in the city of Boise survey. The POPULUS survey identified the same four issues as the top four issues and in the same order as did the city of Boise survey. Furthermore, the city of Boise survey gave items 3 and 4 above nearly identical scores, as did the POPULUS Citizen Satisfaction survey (9.3, 8.9, 7.9, and 7.8 respectively).

Survey: A third of Boiseans back streetcar
http://www.idahostatesman.com/idahopolitics/story/956070.html
Note:The Stateman article mentions that "In a spring 2009 survey conducted by the city, residents reported that economic development and public transportation were their highest priorities, the mayor said." This finding was not just supported, but replicated in the Citizen Satisfaction survey conducted by POPULUS.
