4 DAYS LEFT to VOTE! 2015 Avenue Best Neighbourhoods Survey

February 24, 2015

Only 4 days left to VOTE!
The 2015 Avenue Best Neighbourhoods Survey

 

For the sixth consecutive year, Avenue magazine is asking Calgary residents for their feedback with an all-new Best Neighbourhoods Survey at AvenueCalgary.com/survey. The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and closes Feb. 28, 2015.

Avenue awards the Best Neighbourhood distinction based on survey responses and data analysis. “We ask respondents which factors and amenities make a neighbourhood great, from walkability to transit access and grocery stores,” says Avenue editor Käthe Lemon. “This means respondents have a say in how all neighbourhoods, not just their own, are ranked.”

To develop the survey, Avenue partnered with Leger Marketing to create a series of questions that will determine which community characteristics Calgarians deem most desirable. The top-ranked neighbourhoods for 2015 will be those that best fulfill those criteria. Avenue uses third-party data, such as crime statistics and property values, when ranking Calgary’s neighbourhoods.

“With our Best Neighbourhoods survey, we are able to get to the heart of what matters to Calgarians about the communities they call home,” Lemon says.

Last year, Arbour Lake was ranked Avenue’s Best Neighbourhood, not only for its high level of community involvement, but for its proximity to public transportation, parks and pathways, and amenities like recreation facilities, day cares, grocery stores, pubs and a movie theatre. Ranked second and third were the Beltline and Brentwood, respectively.

Calgarians can make sure they have a say in the Avenue Best Neighbourhoods 2015 results by filling out the survey before Feb. 28 at AvenueCalgary.com/survey. Watch for the results online and in Avenue magazine in August.

We all know how great Winston Heights-Mountview is, so lets make sure the rest of Calgary knows!

Through nextCITY’s Main Streets initiative, we will hear from residents, businesses, industry professionals and other main street visitors, to make informed, strategic planning decisions about the future success of Calgary’s thriving main streets.
In our first events (in November), we saw Community Associations and Business Revitalization Zones take an active role in promoting Main Streets events and encouraging community members to participate in workshops. This resulted in well attended, productive workshops, with great input and discussions between residents and City planners.
