Survey seeks input on walking, biking in Gilroy
Santa Clara County Public Health is conducting a community survey in Gilroy to gather information about how residents and employees in the Downtown and East Gilroy neighborhoods participate in walking or bicycling.
The survey will be used to help guide discussions on barriers to walking or bicycling, as well as evaluate the progress of ongoing education, safety and encouragement programs for bicycling and walking.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish and should take 10 minutes or less to complete. Answers to the survey will be confidential. Participants who complete the survey will have the option to enter in a raffle drawing for a Target gift card.
