It appears most residents who took time to attend the several public meetings and to complete the survey in person, online, or by mail strongly support continuation of the Minneapolis NRP.
Jeff Strand Shingle Creek ============================ >From the NRP web site: http://www.nrp.org/R2/News/NewsArch/2003/Opinionsurvey.pdf NRP Releases Community Opinion Survey Results The NRP Policy Board has released the results of a community opinion survey that coincided with a series of five community meetings aimed at obtaining input from the public regarding immediate and long-term funding, governance and staff support for the NRP in the face of mounting city budget constraints. Three hundred and thirty four people attended the meetings; 210 ballots were submitted. The survey was also posted on the NRP Web site, with links from the City of Minneapolis' and Minneapolis Community Development Agency's Web sites; 153 ballots were submitted online. An additional 98 ballots were submitted by mail. The downloadable file below contains the cumulative responses to the survey questions as well as a breakdown of responses received at the meetings, through the mail and from the NRP Web site.
