Help Hermosa Vida Gather Feedback

FlagCHAN,

Will you please help Hermosa Vida gather community feedback on proposed City developments in Bushmaster Park?

 

Hermosa Vida Change.Action.Network. (C.A.N.) has created an online survey to gather community feedback on how the City should prioritize their proposed improvements at Bushmaster Park based on what the community values. We, as C.A.N., will bring this information to City Council when the Bushmaster Park development plan is brought before them, likely in the Fall.  

 

Here is the link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RR9QXW2

 

Thanks!
