Survey Says: City Seeking Cambridge Residents' Thoughts

CAMBRIDGE, MA — The city is conducting its biennial Citizen Opinion Survey this week, part of an ongoing effort "to identify ways to better serve the community," according to a notice from City Hall.

Cit Hall says the survey has been conducted since the year 2000. It serves as an evaluation tool, enabling residents to rate city services and offer input on what the City of Cambridge does well and where it can make improvements.

According to the city, "Results from this survey will assist the City Manager and the Cambridge City Council in setting priority focus areas for the next couple of years."

Opinion Dynamics Corporation (ODC), a national public opinion polling firm with its own state-of-the-art telephone calling facility, will be coordinating the Citizen Opinion Survey. ODC will be randomly calling 400 Cambridge households (a sub-set of which will be cell-phone only households) on behalf of the city to complete the survey. Every household will have an equal chance of being called.
