The City partnered with BeHeardPhilly℠ to conduct a comprehensive survey to measure public opinion on the delivery of services such as garbage collection and street repairs, on the conditions of facilities such as parks and recreation centers, and to identify priorities among residents.
Mayor Kenney says the Philadelphia Resident Survey will take place annually, reflecting his commitment to engaging residents from every neighborhood in the City. The last time the City conducted a resident survey was in 2007.
The survey was in both English and Spanish. All of the results will help City officials prioritize strategic initiatives and better serve citizens overall. In addition to the annual survey, the City will also partner with Temple ISR to conduct follow-up focus groups and shorter, topic-specific surveys designed to collect more in-depth feedback on specific City services and initiatives.
