The 2018 Community Survey used methods virtually identical to those used in 2016, 2014, 2012 and 2010, which permits comparisons of results over time. As in past surveys, this year’s program resulted in statistical measures of many topics that are of interest to the community. Those results are presented under separate cover. The survey contained a number of opportunities for survey respondents to answer in their own words, and these comments represent several hundred pages of input. With this tool, you may sort and view the survey responses to questions that you select. Click below to select the question you would like to view. Comments may be filtered by additional respondent attributes, such as their length of residency, by clicking the down arrow next to the column header. This shape represents a table slicer. Table slicers are supported in Excel or later. If the shape was modified in an earlier version of Excel, or if the workbook was saved in Excel 2007 or earlier, the slicer can't be used.

Invite Year-round resident (11+ months/year) Right direction 1-5 years I don't attend the concerts because I've never heard of any of the artists. I would rather see the town bring in an artist I'd actually heard of and sell tickets for a reasonable fee ($10 - $30 depending on the artist). I went to a concert in Solaris Plaza once and I had to go to the hospital after I was shoved onto the ground and stepped on by numerous people. Solaris Plaza is not an appropriate concert venue- the buses have to be re-routed, foot traffic is impeded, and there is not space to view the concert without experiencing a mosh pit.

Events Q21: Is there anything else you want to say regarding your level of satisfaction with events? Open Link Part-time resident Right direction Overall I think most of the events enhance the Vail brand. The only event that detracts is the Burton Open with the large number of dregs it attracts.

Invite Part-time resident Right direction More than 15 years I liked the 'walk way' that was created during the Burton Open concert. It allowed people to get through quickly without making the concert go-ers move and get angry (potentially.) I was meeting friends near Solaris and I could maneuver through the crowd. Much better than past concerts where you would have to push your way through.

They are profitable for event promotors, and the case is ALWAYS made that they are benefitting 'the town,' but those of us living through them grow tired of new traffic patterns, new vendors, new operators and periodic renegotiation of who has the 'right' to which use on a street.

They fund such capital items from current tax receipts. Accordingly tax revenues are used inappropriately and the tax base could be reduced by better matching of revenue sources with expenditures.
