RSS FeedDowntown Survey Period Closing This Friday
Earlier this month we mentioned the combined effort of the Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA), Downtown BID, The Downtowner, Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association and BB & T Bank to get a good snapshot of downtowners. We want to remind everyone that the survey period expires this Friday so if you want to participate, there are a few days left to do so. (Note that this survey is not government sponsored nor is it an official census).
One question we’ve heard thrown around is “Does the survey apply to people who work downtown too?” The answer is “Yes.” If you live in town or in the ‘burbs, you might still work for outfits such as the Archives, Venable, Arnold and Porter, DOJ, GAO, The Smithsonian, AARP, IBEW, DC Central Library, one of the many restaurants or one of the many smaller businesses in the area – the survey does apply to you and your work colleagues. Workers need retail and service options just as much as residents and having quality information about a downtowner helps the “downtown coalition” attract those retail and service providers. (Needless to say, residents are also in the group of interest).
The survey can be found on the Downtown BID website, prizes will be randomly awarded to responders and the survey closes this Friday, November 30 at midnight.

good add Si. thanks for pointing out.
OP = DC Office of Planning
MVSNA = Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association
I think it’s important to add that since Whole Foods officially is off the table, this survey will be used to convince other interested grocers. Unlike the petition that ended up with about 1800 signatures, the survey only had about 450 people who had filled it out as of the last DNA meeting, so spread the word.
This PQer is not going to answer questions regarding income, age, etc to a non-Government official. DNA and BID need to revise this to have a response line that is do not care to answer.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
along the same lines, the parcel at 5th & I is going up for RFP very soon & OP is interested in what the community wants to see on that site. Neighbors are welcome to weigh in at the MVSNA blog which Office of Planning is reading:
