Comprehensive Plan Survey – Deadline Extended through June 30, 2011

To: Falmouth Residents




From: Long Range Planning Advisory Committee



Date: June 14, 2011



Re: Comprehensive Plan Survey – Deadline Extended through June 30, 2011

______________________________________________________________________________

Due to popular demand and a very busy election/graduation season, the deadline for the Comprehensive Plan Survey has been extended through June 30, 2011. Please go to www.town.falmouth.me.us/survey2011 to fill out the on-line version of this survey.



Thank you to the more than 600 of you who have filled out the survey already! This means that we have enough completed surveys to be statistically successful in drawing conclusions about what Falmouth should be like ten years from now. However, our goal is to gather the views of as many Falmouth residents as possible. The extension allows you to give us feedback for two more weeks!



Based on your feedback, here are a few survey clarifications:



1. There is no limit of one survey per household. The survey allows for responses from all residents. So, please pass the survey on to your spouse, parent, or child (we want to hear young voices too).



2. Falmouth business owners: Even if you do not live in Falmouth, we encourage you to fill out this survey.



3. Want to skip a survey section for any reason? You can! (On-line just click the arrow forward “>>” if you want to leave a question or section blank.)



4. Important: We do want to learn a bit about you. Even if you skip sections, please complete the demographic section which can be found at the end.



Paper copies of the survey (if you prefer this method over using a computer) can be picked up at Town Hall, Falmouth Memorial Library, or Shaw’s and Hannaford supermarkets.



Please drop your completed paper survey off to the Planning Office in Town Hall by June 30th or mail it directly by that date to:

Remember, this survey will only come to you once every 10 years. Please participate!

The Coastal Running League (Striders) Championship

Wednesday, June 8th- The Coastal Running League (Striders) Championship meet will be held today at 4:00 at Falmouth Community Park off of Winn Road. The races are held at the last set of fields in the park. (Directions below - please read parking information first!!!)

Safety - Obviously this is of the most importance. Please remind all folks driving in the park that the park speed is 15 MPH.

My suggestion is for you to arrive earlier so speeding due to tardiness is not an issue. With people parking and then walking to the meet location,

we want to make certain that everyone can get there safely.



Carpooling - It is strongly encouraged that people carpool. Parking is limited.



Parking - We will have parking attendants to help with parking within the park. Please park where they tell you to.

We have a parking plan in place and it will only work with everyone's cooperation. There will be shuttles to get from one end of the park to the other.

So do not be discouraged about where you have to park, we will have shuttles every 5 minutes.

Please encourage those people with physical disabilities or other issues to arrive at the park early to get parking nearest the field.

I will have several parking spaces for those with the appropriate handicapped placard.
