OPCD/SDOT Survey

Planning Survey

APALA Seattle Chapter in partnership with the City of Seattle’s Office of Planning & Comprehensive Development and Department of Transportation are surveying workers and community members of Seattle to gather information about what the City of Seattle can do to become more accessible. As we know the gentrification and housing crisis has pushed the middle class of the city and created a standard unreachable for a new generation of homeowners. With more and more people living outside of the city in which they work in, have to rely on the transportation system whether it is public or roads. We want to hear from you about what is important to make changes to the city’s transportation and planning. What does an ideal Seattle look like for you? If you would like further information about the survey or project, contact us at seattle@apala.org.
