OCA General Meeting this Sunday
All community members are welcome to attend the business meeting.
This is where priorities are set and reports on progress are given.
Solutions
Planners will use your responses to help determine the “weight” given to each criterion in the analysis.
Your answers will be used to evaluate draft actions for the Port Angeles Resiliency Plan.
This is a clever survey that asks your opinion about: Impact, Cost, Social Equity, Community Support, Feasibility, and Co-benefits.
First a traditional Least–Most button quiz, then weighting the same questions as part of a total of 20 points.
Perhaps Port Angeles can have an even more bicycle-friendly environment.
