City seeks volunteers for public space survey
Staff Report //February 13, 2018//
Listen to this articleThe city of Columbia needs volunteers for its third annual Public Space Public Life Survey. Participants will count pedestrians and cyclists at a specified downtown location for four hours.
The data collected on March 22 and March 24 will provide a clearer picture of who uses the area’s public spaces and how they use them and allow city planners to promote a more livable downtown, the city said in a news release.
Brief volunteer training will be provided by city staff.
