Master Plan Survey

It is of utmost importance that you respond to the survey regarding the Master Plan - if you were one of the lucky random residents to receive one in the mail. As a wise man said “The Master Plan needs to reflect what the residents want their community to be. Other than the Charter, there is no more important document for a city.”

Anyone here receive a survey? I did not or I could tell you all about it.

On 10/23 this was part of the Mayor’s email: “In preparation for updating our Master Plan, Cuyahoga County Planning will be conducting an opinion poll to get your input. They will be mailing 1,200 surveys to a random sampling of residents. The surveys should be in the mail today and will reach homes next week. If you receive a survey, please fill it out and mail it back to County Planning in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope. Your input is important to us as we begin this very important community planning process.”

A master plan is a document that shows recommendations for how a city should go forward concerning areas such as housing, economic development, and community services, to name a few areas. Based on demographics, geography and other factors, the results of the opinion survey created by Cuyahoga County Planning, are used as input and help in developing the goals for a new master plan.

The last Master Plan for the City of Bay Village was done in 1999. You can view it here:
