Some Coquitlam residents will be getting a call from polling firm Ipsos-Reid this week as the city conducts it annual Citizens Satisfaction Survey.
Calls are being made through Friday in an effort to gather insights into pertinent issues, quality of life and municipal services. Participation is voluntary but the information is used to guide and enhance citizen-focused decision making for the coming year.
In 2015, 501 residents 18 years or older were contacted. In the northeast part of the city, 66 people were interviewed while 78 interviews were conducted with Westwood Plateau residents, 103 in the City Centre, 128 in central Coquitlam and 126 in west Coquitlam.
The statistically-valid survey found that transportation was the number one concern of 39% of respondents while 11% listed crime and another 11% said taxes were their top issue.
