It also bears mentioning (for anyone who hasn't visited the online survey) that most if not all of the survey questions seem to have come from the "comments" that folks provided in response to the Patch article the other day. So, huzzah, the Parks/Rec folks read the Patch. It's great to see that additional ways of gathering information are being explored. As the saying goes, "baby steps..."

^ see http://whitelake.patch.com/articles/what-would-you-improve-in-white-lake-and-highland-in-2013 for the comments that have been provided so far. Like I said, most if not all of the questions in that survey appear to mirror the comments provided by Patch readers

This meeting, and/or this site are the perfect time and place to view your thoughts and needs regarding non-motorized pathways. We are so desperately in need of these. Please let your voices be heard if it is a priority of yours.
