COMMUNITYOUTREACH SURVEYS Pinpoint Map Survey During Phase 1, the team developed a user-friendly, multilingual pinpoint map survey in ArcGIS that integrated a geospatial data tool, enabling residents to share ideas and concerns about the corridor, including pedestrian safety, green space, and traffic flow at specific locations along the corridor. The focus was on identifying key objectives, including enhancing multimodal transportation, improving accessibility, and fostering community engagement. Engaging survey questions were crafted to gather meaningful insight into the community's priorities, such as accessibility, bicycling, driving, safety, and transit. The team developed a comprehensive distribution strategy that leveraged the Study's website, email blasts, social media, partner toolkits, and geotargeted ads to effectively reach the community. In-person distribution at community events and throughout the Study area included QR codes for digital responses and printed surveys for increased accessibility. Following data collection, survey responses were summarized and presented to the City to inform the Study, highlighting key trends and insights. This comprehensive approach to survey development, implementation, and analysis enabled a wide variety of stakeholders to have their voices heard. The pinpoint survey was active from Aug. 27 until Oct. 7, 2025. In total, it yielded eight results, four of which appear to come from one user, all in English, and mostly focused on quality-of-life issues, such as drug activity and unsanitary conditions related to trash and unhoused populations. Q&A Online Survey In September, the team created and shared a traditional Question and Answer (Q&A) survey on the Study website to offer a range of online feedback options alongside the pinpoint survey. This survey asked questions similar to the pinpoint map prompts, including the issues users encounter on First Street, their frequency of use, and the reasons for using the corridor. The survey was offered in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, and was distributed to the CWG and at NA meetings to increase community participation. The survey questions and results are shown in Figure 31, Figure 32, Figure 33, and Figure 34. First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study—37
