Burlington will use old school telephone survey to get community feedback

If you get a phone call this week and someone starts asking you a lot of questions, don’t be too concerned; it’s just City Hall.

The City of Burlington is conducting the survey to receive community feedback on a number of local issues such as services, taxes and transit.

Results of the survey will assist the City in gauging public satisfaction as well as determining how best to get residents involved in the decision-making process.

The phone survey will complement the ongoing online survey that can be taken until Oct. 20.

Starting this week, Burlington residents will be called by random selection. There will be 750 telephone surveys completed; 125 households in each ward. A combination of land and cell phone numbers will be contacted. The caller ID for the survey will show the text as BurlON Survey and the phone number: 905-297-4697.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
