general question

I think that if we stick to one topic (my vote is transit), then we will increase our chances of shedding light on how people feel about one aspect of public policy. If we have one question or so on each topic, we probably won't end up having a very useful survey and I feel like it will be much easier to think of better questions if we focus on one area.

I totally agree that we should stick with transportation and be thorough about it. I think that will be more useful and provide better data. I'd go for rich data over broad data.

Hey everyone! So we're just going to be sticking to transportation questions? If so, I think we should ask something about the adequacy of highways/road systems and relate that to time spent commuting to work.

I definitely think that there should be one question regarding the condidtions of the roads/highways. I was also just wondering if the questions we have on the questions page so far, are ones that we are using for sure? And since we are sticking to questions about transportation, I think we should take out the question about having a family doctor then.

I agree to both statements. I don't really know much about roadways however, as I've never driven around Vancouver, so I don't have a substantive addition to that. What about bike questions as well? I'm also not a cyclist, so I'm not sure what is a relevant question. My suggestions for that specifically are below though.

I'm not sure how to ask about road conditions because I don't drive either, but I think something to the effect of "do you think transportation infrastructure spending should be increased in your community?" could be interesting. We can follow it up by asking if they'd rather see more roads/highways or more mass transit systems. I'm guessing answers to the 2nd part of the question would depending on respondents' locations (rural vs. urban).
