City of Pontiac Public Input In the development of the Master Plan, the City solicited input via an online survey. In addition, a public hearing was held once a draft plan was prepared. Survey An online survey was created and posted to the City of Pontiac website. A flyer was developed and a number of emails sent out to a variety of stakeholders encouraging completion of the survey. The survey was available June 15, 2011 through October 4, 2011. Hard copies of the survey were also printed and made available at the Bowen’s The following is a summary of the survey results: • Nearly 65% of the surveys were completed by people who have lived in the City for more than 20 years. • Geographically, the majority of the respondents live in the Northwest, Northeast, or Southwest sections of the City. • The largest number of respondents were between the ages of 50 to 55. Survey respondents also indicated: • Many more programs, activities, and facilities are needed • Enough parkland is available • The job being done providing recreational programs and facilities in the City was rated fair to poor. • Much more funding is needed The physical recreation opportunities that are currently participated in the most include: • Walking/Hiking • Bicycling • Jogging • Basketball • Picnicking • Fishing and Peterson Senior Centers. Seventy-three (73) surveys were fully completed and 123 surveys were partially completed. The survey results reported include anyone that answered any question (the entire survey didn’t need to be completed in order for responses to be counted). Detailed survey results can be found in the Appendix of this Master Plan. The non-sport activities that are currently participated in the most include: • Computer and technology classes • Fitness classes • Concerts 55
