The city is asking residents to weigh in with answers to “ideas for the future” questions focused on its greatest strengths and opportunities in the city in an online survey as part of the process in updating the comprehensive plan. 

The survey also asks residents to complete a brief interactive mapping activity about recent change and their hopes for future development. 

The process to update the city’s comprehensive plan will take more than a year, and was last updated seven years ago. 

The 20-year plan, according to city planner Alexis Baker, is meant to be a long-range guide for a number of areas, including land use, housing, transportation, parks and open spaces, public safety, schools and economic development. 

The online survey is available in English and Spanish through June 15 online at https://suffolk2045.org/roundone/. Residents can also fill out paper copies of the survey at all Suffolk Public Libraries or at City Hall, located at 442 W. Washington St.
