11Vail Community & Employer‐Employee Survey 2016 | RRC Associates | 6/21/16Town Direction
Why do you feel the Town of Vail is going in the right direction?1. Quality of the elected officials 2. Physical infrastructure of the Town 3. Openness ofgovernmentGood, attentive governance that takes the time to consider the views and needs of residents.Investment in infrastructure, balance between out of town global and national visitors and frontrange/local interests.Taking proactive measures such as the Gore Creek Reparation, updating the Booth Fallsplayground, trying to develop and design theChamonix lot and having public input meetingsregarding projects separate from council meetings are all positive steps.There seems to be a reasonable balance between doing good things to develop the Town andmake it more exciting without breaking a reasonable spending level.Vail is making many necessary changes and upgrades to keep us competitive with other skitowns in the US.Town Direction13Vail Community & Employer‐Employee Survey 2016 | RRC Associates | 6/21/16
Why do you feel the Town of Vail is has gotten off on the wrong track?Becoming too high-rise and too crowded in the summer.I think we are crowding our town with too many 'events' mostly in the summer. I understand thatwe are a resort, but Vail is also our home. Things are getting overcrowded and it is puttingpressure on areas that are already problematic i.e. parking.Need more nightlife, après ski scene and restaurants. No more retail.Things are too expensive. We need a local grocery store. People are begging for this.Too much growth......lived here 35 years and it doesn't feel like a 'town' anymore. Most of usmoved here to get away from the city...but theykeep building 'bigger and better' nonsense.Understand it’s good for business but feel like we should stop and take a breath.We feel the homeowners have little say in what they Town Council decides for our communitygrowth.Town Direction14Vail Community & Employer‐Employee Survey 2016 | RRC Associates | 6/21/16
